I don't want to be Patrick Mahomes when I grow up.
I wanna be Dieter. That dude has the best life ever - just kinda hangs around, works out, gets to travel w/ his buddies and shows up in instagram videos with his star teammates. You think he ever looks around and thinks to himself "man, ain't this some shit right here..." and just laughs? He has to recognize the absurdity of this existence. Being the QBs buddy is the way to go. |

Sat next to Jace Sternberger on a flight this weekend and he wasn't all jacked either. Extremely polite and engaging young man. Yes sir this and that. Made me feel old. lol I guess he played some juco ball with Darwin Thompson at NEO. Had a lot of great things to say about him as a person and player.

It may not be an issue now with Patrick being on a rookie deal. They're probably not doing anything ludicrous unless Kelce is gifting it to the group, but in four years the economic gap could be pretty big. Dieter needs to practice his route running with vigor. |

Nevermind, 570k this year.
Yeah, he's gotta watch the spending. |

There's a chance that he's not a bad player and that he can carry his weight 'round these parts as Mahomes caddy. But no, there's no way that guys gonna go out and make an NFL squad exclusively on his merits. Gotta keep him 'round until Mahomes signs that extension, I guess... |

So it appears that Patrick is making about $4.5 million, Travis is around $10.8 million, and Conley (if that's him) is around $2.1 million.
It seems like they're not doing anything too crazy, so Dieter can hang with them at $570k. It's not like he's living on scholarship money. But I wonder if at some point they'll do something where he has to say no for financial reasons. Maybe they decide to go up to low-earth orbit or something. |

I'm betting if Pat's offering to carry the freight on a $25K vacation, Deiter's gonna do the slow reach for his wallet while Pat grabs the check... |

There may have been tales of guys in the NFL like him who bust their asses and end up making something out of their careers more than just 3-4 years, a bunch of special teams tackles, and a couple of receptions here and there. But I can't really think of many. |

It would be kind of mind-bending to go from being a college student to suddenly making $570,000 a year, and then being the poorest guy in your posse.

Terrance Copper lasted 10 years in the NFL.
Gehrig Dieter was lucky just to be given a chance on an NFL training camp roster. He's beyond lucky to be in the position he's in at this very moment. To sustain a career as a special teams monkey for 7 more years like this would be cosmically beyond lucky. Don't hate on Terrance Copper just because he accomplished what somebody even as lucky as Dieter can only dream of. |
