I can't see any way 13% gets it done. That would be a little over $25 million this year. I have a hard time seeing anything below 18% getting it done. What would motivate him, or anyone for that matter, to take a deal like that that would take years of salary cap escalation to get to the "top tier" QB salaries? Couple that with the possibility of the cap decreasing or seemingly at best, a small increase in 2021 after. I can't expect the typical yearly cap increase next year that we have seen for a while now.

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.

One thing to remember is his cap number the next two years is like $5 million a year. It would still be a large raise the next few years, and then jump as the cap jumps. You’re certainly right, would have to be higher than 13% and or have some performance kickers.

All but assures Patrick gets fair compensation while allowing the team the ability to stay competitive and plan ahead each and every year.

He's said, he's experienced a shitty team and him getting big numbers at Texas Tech... he prefers being a part of a winner. So, I think he's going to work with the team like Brady did, perhaps...

Mahomes agent has said repeatedly that Mahomes wants to win and prioritizes winning over maxing his earning potential.

Mahomes passed on many endorsement deals as a rookie and even in his second year so he could focus on the game.

He’s not going to take a stupid low contract, he will be the highest paid player in history, but they will structure his deal to be able to be flexible every year and he’s not going to demand a crazy amount.

My prediction is and extension of 4/150 with 90-100m fully guaranteed.

That makes him signed the next 6 seasons.

4 more titles in that time span.

Of course he's going to say that. He's his agent and he is there to make Pat look good. You honestly think he'd come out and say "Pat wants the Brinks truck"?

PMII has said many times that his agent is doing the negotiating and he's just focusing on football. Lee gets paid based on what Pat makes. There is no way he signs for less than $40 mil/year. He will probably be closer to $45 than $40.

How did Brady get his cheap ass dildo deals done with the Patriots? Does his agent suck so goddamn bad that the best thing he could come up with was a contract number that screams, "I'm just another cog in the system"

Or did Brady tell his agent, "You work for me. I don't want to be the highest paid QB. Ever. Not even for a single season."

I'm not saying that's what Mahomes will do, only that if that's what he wanted, he would make it work. The whole, "The agent gets paid a percentage of the contract..." thing is great and all, but in the end if the player doesn't like the deal put in front of him, he won't sign the contract.

Brady's wife makes wayyyyyy more money than he does, so he could afford to take less. Pat's gf don't make nearly that much.

She's worth $600 Million. Her companies she started and owns does BILLIONS is sales every year.

Brittany makes $100K a year.


So we need to fly some banners, get social media activated to get Brittany a big chain of workout centers/gyms so Mahomes can have generational changing money and concentrate on just playing football.

I don’t know whose fault it was, but he probably should have passed on some of those TV commercials. He and his agent should be picky about how he’s used.

I bet the talk to Mahomes earlier this year and came to an agreement about not doing his new contract until later. That way no one gets upset and everyone is on the same page.

good job.

[StinkBox]

The Chiefs have potential to be a dynasty in the making.

I'm Jelly!

It's so great that even knowing this contract will be massive, I have zero fear of it. I feel like the day Mahomes signs an extension will be a day of celebration. What a time to be alive.
