The league? Definitely not. Players and agents? Probably.

It's so great that even knowing this contract will be massive, I have zero fear of it. I feel like the day Mahomes signs an extension will be a day of celebration. What a time to be alive.

Mahomes is different. Isn’t cocky but confident. He’s humble and says all the right stuff. Wouldn’t shock me one bit for him to take a slight hometown discount of roughly 37-38 mil a year

I don’t know whose fault it was, but he probably should have passed on some of those TV commercials. He and his agent should be picky about how he’s used.

None better as a Chiefs fan!

I think Pat should get somewhere between 30-33. It would be a fair price to both him and the team. They can manipulate the numbers by throwing in bonuses and incentives. You pay him 37-40 and that makes it tougher to sign guys of the likes of Breeland or Pennel.

LMAO

Pennel signed for Veteran Minimum, so the only way the Chiefs wouldn't be able to afford a player like him is if they gave Mahomes something like 75% of their cap.

Amazing that $50 million AAV would be a bargain for Pat

Thats not happening. He deserves an enormous contract.

It’s either Pat at a huge salary or an average QB with more money. We all know what option we’re taking.

How did Brady get his cheap ass dildo deals done with the Patriots? Does his agent suck so goddamn bad that the best thing he could come up with was a contract number that screams, "I'm just another cog in the system"

Or did Brady tell his agent, "You work for me. I don't want to be the highest paid QB. Ever. Not even for a single season."

I'm not saying that's what Mahomes will do, only that if that's what he wanted, he would make it work. The whole, "The agent gets paid a percentage of the contract..." thing is great and all, but in the end if the player doesn't like the deal put in front of him, he won't sign the contract.

I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

It's been that way since day one with this kid.


Still feels surreal, almost like a dream that's too good to be true yet still gets better.

I don't think a deal is possible without Chris Jones signing first unless the Chiefs cut about 10+ mil off their current cap number. Whatever deal he agrees to, even if team friendly, is going to drive his numbers up this year big time.

I like Chris Jones a lot but I think they messed up by not trading him.

I think you underestimate the arrogance of other QB’s and their agents. We are seeing it right now with Dak Prescott. Deshaun Watson’s camp leaked to the media that they will demand more from Houston than whatever Mahomes is paid.

According to sam mellinger the negotiations have officially started.
