I've always thought that type of contract is reasonable and a win ,win for both sides.

Only problem with it is it means he has a big cap number every year, and you can't use signing bonuses to spread the money as much.

I think we see something more like Goff's contract, which let's you move money around from signing bonuses and roster bonuses and keep the huge cap hits from nailing you right away. You're always pushing the enormous cap hits down the road.

thats why it’s never been done yet. GM’s like the flexibility year to year. Seems to me that in this unique situation, these never before seen $’s that knowing your % of cap taken every year would be a better benefit than flexibility.

I think the whole cap % contract would be just an awful idea for a team. With 15% he will almost always be the highest paid player and the biggest salary cap hit in football. There would be no more overpay for a year or two and get relief in the cap later due to rising cap space and costs to the position. There would be no more renegotiating of contract to get relief through bonuses being spread out.

15%? That is chump change for a QB of Mahomes' ability. 15% is nowhere close to highest paid QB in the league at the moment. In fact it's currently the 9th highest QB salary in the league based on the 2020 salary cap. Would be a salary of $29.7M for 2020 season.

At the time of signing their recent contracts, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers were both around 18.5% of the cap in the year they signed. That's a lot more than the 15% you claim is so outrageous. Matt Ryan is 8th in average salary and he is getting $30M per year, which is currently 14.9% of the cap. At the time Matt Ryan signed his deal in May 2018, it was about 17% of the 2018 salary cap.

You should hope like hell the Chiefs are actually able to get Mahomes on a 15% cap salary. That's a massive discount compared to his actual value.
