Football Contract money vs legacy - Page 2

Lprechaun · 07-03-2019, 01:03 PM

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.)

Because having that type of security for yourself and your kids and grandkids is better than just having nice things?

He'd be able to do that anyways.
There are two types of people, neither worse or better than the other. I personally would rather have the rings and records.
Plenty of money to be made while spreading it around to teammates.
But Ive never been about having more than someone else, Id rather work hard and work hard to help others succeed

People have gone broke with 200 mil before. I'll take as much money as possible and set my family up for as many generations as possible.

That makes very little sense in the aspect of if you can go broke with 200 million you somehow wont with more?
Billionaires have lost everything, thats on them in one way or another. Other billionaires can do what you say, and then there are people like Bill Gates who know that a few million dollars can set you up for life and giving the rest away to help others is what riches are for.
I again dont blame anyone for wanting more money, I want more money, but say i signed a 200 million dollar contract and had endorsements, Id build houses and give them to people deserving of a fresh start.

I want as much money as possible. It's that simple. If I already have great success like Mahomes and have already win 1 or 2 rings like in the scenario jj posted then I'd rather have the $200 mil extra.

And a lot of the millionaires who went broke went broke because of the last sentence in your post. Which is another reason why you should want as much money as possible if your goal is to help others.

Like I said, nothing wrong with that. I play that "if I had unlimited money what would I buy thought" and man personally Id have a 1500 sq ft home in the mountains and decked out woodshop and a 56 Ford pickup.
The rest Id give away

People with no sense.

PMII clearly has sense.

Horribly stupid take. Do it the Brady way and get those rings. The money will come.

Not if you get Teddy Bridgewatered. This game will throw you out the door if you aren't useful anymore. Get the money now.

We’re approaching the start of the 2019 season, with the best roster in KC history, and you’re worrying about how many M’s Patrick’s gonna make in 2020?

ModSocks · 07-03-2019, 04:06 PM

Take the money.

Besides, you really only need 1-2 rings to cement a legacy, not 4-6.

I would rather have $200 million and 10 Superbowl rings because I had better talent around me than $400 million and just one or 2 rings. Question is, will Mahomes feel that way?

$200m vs $400m?

Huge difference in reality. That’s extra money in case of emergency, extra cash for your family inheritance (ensure your kids never live in poverty) charity, etc.

The conversation is about ensuring we can field that sort of roster for years and years to come or rather or not PM2 would rather have the money.
No one is discounting what is going to be on the field this year, what will be there after his contract?

Again, PMII only need 2 SB rings to cement a legacy, in what will likely be a 15+ year career.

He's going to get both money and legacy. So it's moot.
