In that sense, just having numbers in black ink should work to the Chiefs advantage.

But they have to sate Mahomes in the process. They could give him a raise, yeah. But I think he'd probably be just as content if they tell him "Yeah Pat - we hear you, but we can finish DE1s deal at X dollars and WR2s deal at Y dollars and we kinda need Z dollars to make that happen..."

And because he's a psychopath, the former's probably just as good as the latter to him.

Chris Jones’ dad told me before the Titans AFCCG that Mahomes would take less than fair market value so the Chiefs could retain him. Dude asked whether I was a reporter, lol.

No reason to think he doesn’t continue to do so. Pat gonna be the first NFL billionaire.

It absolutely happened. I was off by one slot on where Jones was drafted and he corrected me. Was within $1-2M of his son’s guaranteed contract number.

He and Jones’ agent were at the Lot J tailgate. Quality spread, good party.

First, nobody should expect pat to do this. And good chance it’s wishful thinking. But man that would be a hell of a thing if mahomes decided to do this for us. He has such a unique contract that he can actually do it since each year is loaded with roster bonuses.

It would be mostly unprecedented. But the dude has a chance to build a superpower and keep a few guys he really likes. Would he sacrifice a few million to get him a stud of a weapon? Dude is so competitive and loves his teammates so much I can’t help but wonder if it’s actually in the cards

TB12 took less, but the Pats tended to not spend up to the cap.

CHunt doesn’t seem to have that problem.

Is this actually true? I know he signed market rate deals which is essentially a discount. But did he actually give back money that was in his contract?

Brady took team friendly, below market deals.

Honestly, Pats contract doesn't matter to me. If he wants to be the highest paid ever when his contract comes up, then I'd run to the table to do the deal. If he wants to take a discount, I'd run to the table to do the deal.

It would be cool if he did take less than fair market value, but I don't care if he wants to be paid what he's worth because he's worth every single cent.
