Sit Steinberg, Mahomes, Veach, and Andy together in a room and figure out how to make this work so Pat can get the compensation he’s earned while allowing Veach and Reid to keep pieces around him.

Talk it out and come to a scenario where everybody wins.

The NFL would shit their pants if Mahomes figured out a team friendly deal. Could you imagine paying Mahomes like Brady was paid in NE? There would be riots in the streets. NE got away with it because Brady wasn't anything like Pat in his first years at QB.

Brady was given a record-breaking contract after his rookie deal. At the time, he was still a game manager. He started doing the discounts later in his career when he developed into an elite QB.

He was also a 6th round pick who hadn’t made shit up until that point in his career.

Exactly. Got paid top dollar for being a game manager on a great team with incredible defense. Guessing Belichick hated that contract at the time.

Mahomes was paid as a top 10 pick, but that is chump change when you realize bums like Trubisky, Solomon Thomas, Mayfield and others have been paid about double Mahomes. Hard to blame his agent if they demand top dollar. But the only way to get a dynasty is if he gives a serious discount.
