Well we have 23M carryover this year plus 20M more if we cut Sammy, Cam, and Damien Wilson.
Next year we get 8M more relief from Berry's deal. Cap liabilities go way down in 2021 and Ward is the only guy we might have to pay to keep. He's a RFA I believe.
So you give Mahomes a 10-12 year deal with a big bonus and take the cap hit for the next 5 years while we still have most of our core players locked up. Then he gets fairly cheap about the time we need to start paying Hill, Kelce, Hardman, Clark, Matthieu again - and bringing in other core players.
Unfortunately that probably means letting Jones go for draft picks.
It could all come down to whether or not we win in 2 weeks. If we win the SB, they may feel more comfortable taking the longer-term winning approach vs. win now.
