Clark Hunt: The Chiefs Will Begin Contract Negotiations W/Mahomes This Summer
https://1053thefan.radio.com/article...ahomes-this-su
Chiefs to Begin Extension Talks with Patrick Mahomes This Summer The Chiefs plan to begin contract extension negotiations with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes this summer, chairman Clark Hunt said Wednesday evening. “The negotiations are something we’ll be getting into this summer,” Hunt said on a Facebook Live event with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “But what he has said and what we’ve said, both sides is, he wants to be a Kansas City Chief for life, and that’s our mentality as well. We want him to play his entire career in Kansas City, and that’s what we’re going to be shooting for.” Mahomes is currently set to count around $5.3 million against the salary cap in 2020 on the fourth year of his rookie contract, but the expectation is he’ll sign a long-term extension and become the NFL’s highest-paid player given all he has accomplished early in his career. Mahomes, 24, was named the NFL MVP in a spectacular 2018 and followed that up by leading the Chiefs to a Super Bowl title in the 2019 season, during which he threw for 4,031 yards, 26 touchdowns and five interceptions in 15 games in the regular season. Hunt knows as well as anyone what Mahomes means to his organization. “In terms of special qualities, the thing that really struck me in 2018, the first year that he became a full-time starter for us, was his leadership ability,” Hunt said. “We knew he had these special physical gifts. We had seen him on the practice field. We’d seen the no-look throws. We had seen the 70-yard bombs, all that stuff – I’m not sure we had seen the left-handed throw but maybe. But anyhow, we knew we had that. But the pleasant surprise was what a great leader he was at age 23. An NFL locker room is a very difficult place to come into as a young player and lead, but it was very evident that the entire team was looking up to him in his first year as a starter – and of course that carried over into this past season. “He has a tremendous amount of humility going back to what I said about leadership qualities. So he’s very humble on one hand and very competitive on the other and his teammates all respect him and want to play for him and with him.” |

Just think, if not for Dumbass Dee Ford Mahomes would likely have two SB victories already.

I was just using the 70 million signing bonus which seems reasonable here. On a 5 year extension as an example, that would be spread out over 7 years. That a 10 million dollar hit this season, plus what is probably a minimum salary. |

But, getting revenge on the Rams for that 54-51 loss would have been epic. It's possible that the Chiefs vs Rams Super Bowl last year could have set ratings records, just based on the hype created by that MNF game. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

I thought it was fine. I know I'm in the minority but I thought watching Pats D play D way they did was a thing of beauty.

For the team, the deal works best IF the structure is somewhat known and you have a lot of cash being delivered via roster bonuses/signing bonuses that let you keep 1) giving the player lots of cash now; 2) spreading the cash over an extended contract.
With Mahomes, KC will always want to kick the can down the road on his cap hits as much as possible, because you always want the player. For Mahomes, it's guaranteed money/cash in hand that matter. So... with the whole percentage of the cap coming up, I do wonder if maybe there's a way to schedule roster bonuses that use a percentage of the salary cap or something of that nature. Would potentially be the best of both worlds. |

I would trust Veach and the cap guys to be able to continually field a very good team at other important cornerstone positions with 82% of the cap. |
