Ultimately the goal will be to get mahomes paid but also get him to a friendlier team deal. I think he will be motivated to do both. The great thing about our salary cap is veach really front loaded our cap the next 2-3 years. Which with the new cba now looks very cap friendly. We should be good for a few years. Where it gets really interesting is when contracts like Mathieu and Wilson and okafor etc. start to expire. They'll all come at once.

So what do we do with Mahomes contract? I'm thinking we frontload the hell out of it. I have a feeling mahomes will eventually want to Brady his deal and flex his salary to help get players they need. But before he does that why not overpay him the first few years? Mega signing bonus that will virtually guarantee his contract long term. Huge base salaries early on. Then lower the base salary in later years with an additional signing bonus trigger in year 3 or 4.
