Didn’t Tom take a pay cut later in his career to allow them some cap room to add some receivers?

So I then tell them Alex Smith restructured his deal too and the old parable about the poor woman who gave all she had vs the rich who only gave out of their surplus really makes him mad considering I basically compare his QB to Alex Smith in the who is better for their team chemistry guy haha |

Hopefully he will take the TB approach that has allowed Bellichek to bring in talent when needed.

One thing that always amazes me about CP is year after year a user float this idea that the discount or the hometown discount for ____ player still exists like it's the 90s or early 2000s.

Unless you are one of the greatest players of all time, the answer is money. Even then, it's a false choice, but they are all going to choose money. Nobody who's actually good has to settle for a discount. |

Maybe because a lot of us hanker for players like George Brett who was a KC player thru and thru and players like DT ... nothing wrong in hoping. Besides its just a discussion, I fully expect him to he the highest paid QB ever.

Was Brady giving discounts on his first and second contacts? Guy has been in the league for two decades with a wife who has a net worth more than him. When you already have a few hundred million in the bank it's a lot easier to do. In Mahomes current situation, you take the money.

There was a period where he was pissed because he took a discounted contract with belief the team would help put weapons around him with the money and then they traded away his top receiver. |

There's no such thing as a hometown discount for a guy raised in Texas who went to KC. Good lord, that's not 'hometown discount' that just 'discount.' No reason the best QB in years should get paid less just cause Chiefs fans thinks he owes the city something.

It was simply a question of legacy (possible take out Brady as the "goat") or money. No one is arguing he isnt or wont be worth it. But being able to pay other stars definitely helps solidify more chances at SBs. |
