But the overwhelming majority won't be. They'll figure something out. It seems a flat cap is the likely scenario so I wonder if we won't see a Mahomes deal tied to % cap somehow. It's been a rumored approach for awhile and this may be the perfect introduction to it - provided it's allowed under the CBA. |

I was thinking along the lines of Redskins, Giants, Lions and maybe Cleveland.
You know who'd really like to see it? Miami. Young, cost-controlled QB with some ascending talent and a clear path to the division (Tua developing into a top 12ish guy). If the NFL dropped it's cap by 20%, Miami could still stay under it pretty easily and there will be some big-time talent that would hit the market. The Colts might be similarly intrigued even though they don't have a long-term option at QB. There are some teams that would benefit a great deal, but not enough to carry the vote, IMO. |

It was also rumored that he would have an opt-out after every year. That also did not happen. |

You just cannot build a team when you're worried about your quarterback opting out at any time. It's an impossible ask and it's why so many of those NBA contracts that are 1 year deals with subsequent option years will hamstring teams. Because you can NEVER take a step back and in a league with a hard cap, you have maybe 3-4 years before that catches up with you and blows the whole roster apart. Every few years has to be a 'placeholder' season where you clear the books a bit, re-set and re-load the following season. And if you worry about your QB getting frustrated and walking away (or you can't ever know what his demands will be so you can't budget around them) you can't ever make truly responsible long-term decisions. I'd rather overpay him and KNOW I'm doing so and in what amounts for a set period of time. |

Disappointing to hear this news. Chiefs have not been forthright regarding these negotiations.

Jesus Christ. They had better get a deal done, otherwise they should have traded him before the draft. Otherwise he walks next year for a measly 3rd round compensatory, probably to a division rival? **** that.
