Brady was highest paid QB in the league multiple times throughout his career. He didn't always take discounts. People are demanding Mahomes take a discount on his very first chance at a big contract. Brady didn't take a discount on his first big contract after his rookie deal.

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.
