IF Mahomes is willing to go the discount direction, he needs to demand 100% guaranteed money. There has to be compromise from the Chiefs on that front. If Kirk Cousins can get a fully guaranteed deal, then Mahomes should be demanding the same treatment...especially if he's willing to give them a discount on the actual salary.

Im not demanding Mahomes do anything just saying if he goes the 'pay me maximum I can get' route it will hinder Chiefs ability to surround him with talent.

Like you said Brady didn't take huge discounts but considering he is regarded as the GOAT he definitely could have demanded a lot more if he wanted to. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong w signing team friendly deals especially when you consider QBs are not going to spend most of that money in their lifetime. I'm not saying anything drastic but every little bit helps.
