Wilson and introducing a $40+ million a year hit...watching their main rival add 7 top (cheap) picks before they choose.

The cheapest part of Mahomes' deal is over with. In fact, Mahomes is going to count $82.5M on your cap over the next two years while Russ will only count $51M on our cap over the next two years. Any extension that Russ signs in Denver will be tacked on to his current contract, and will most likely be backloaded so Russ will still count less than Mahomes will on the cap for at least the next 4 years.
It's a good thing you guys have so many picks over the next few years. You guys need them, desperately. Too bad KC's roster is riddled with holes and they still won't have enough picks to address them all.
