Contract money vs legacy

[Lprechaun]

Since we do now have Mahomes, he will retire as a Chief, and with the upcoming contract for him (ungodly numbers) I got thinking about what he has shown so far and wondered if it could turn into a club friendly contract to ensure the ability to get more talent around him.
Its really a money issue, what is enough and what is in the end just simply not needed. His agent doesnt jump at money, he is quirky but smart. He told Mahomes the money would show up and he needed to concentrate on the game.
PM2 didnt come from a poor family living in squalor, I think legacy might mean more to him than a bigger NFL contract.
As this team turns the page from the Pats as the team where players want to go we will have no shortage of team friendly contracts of players wanting a championship.
OR is money that important and we just hope we can draft well enough to put a team around him?
(He deserves every cent, I see him not taking it like others have just to have it.)

This entire thread is stupid because Mahomes can have both- legacy and contract. Make no mistake Mahomes will be the highest paid player in NFL history when he re-ups his contract. It is up to the GM and front office to ensure that they surround Mahomes with enough talent to compete year in and year out.

People want to use Brady as a comparable but he is the exception- there hasn't been a better QB/coach combo to ever grace the NFL. I don't think you try and recreate that because it is so incredibly rare.

The guy who thinks the world is 600 years old, the quack psychiatrist, and an Alex Smith knob slobber all want Mahomes to take less money than he's worth. That tells you all you need to know.

I think every Chiefs fan wants that. You dont want Mahomes to sign a team friendly contract so the Chiefs can put more talent around him so he can win more SBs?

I said I wouldnt hold it against him if he doesnt but it sure as hell would be what is best for Mahomes if he wants to win as many SBs as possible. Probably more than half the money he gets in his next contract he won't even spend in his lifetime anyway.

This coming from a guy who couldn't come up with a better username that CasselGotPeedOn and can't tell the difference between 600 and 6000. Yeah. You're the picture of pure genius on the board.

Job 40:15-24

15 “Take a look at Behemoth,[a]
which I made, just as I made you.
It eats grass like an ox.
16 See its powerful loins
and the muscles of its belly.
17 Its tail is as strong as a cedar.
The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze.
Its limbs are bars of iron.
19 It is a prime example of God’s handiwork,
and only its Creator can threaten it.
20 The mountains offer it their best food,
where all the wild animals play.
21 It lies under the lotus plants,[b]
hidden by the reeds in the marsh.
22 The lotus plants give it shade
among the willows beside the stream.
23 It is not disturbed by the raging river,
not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.
24 No one can catch it off guard
or put a ring in its nose and lead it away.
