Mahomes is underpaid. He's worth twice what he's getting. I'm glad he doesnt feel underpaid, though. And I'm glad he'd rather win than get paid what he's worth.

Bc of the cap he will always be underpaid. If he were paid his worth we’d win no more Super Bowls. He’s also a winner with a winners mindset driving his thinking. I wonder what he makes in endorsements relative to what he would make if he’d have maxed out his contract every chance possible (bc that means possibly only one SB).

Is he wants to take less to make the team better than more power to him. It's smart.

I believe he makes more overall by taking less from the team. His brand value explodes more with every Super Bowl appearance.

With the money he makes from endorsements, he's doing just fine I'd say. We're very lucky he was able to develop so much fame. It helps us keep him without destroying our cap.
I ran into an old colleague I haven't seen in 20+ years, he's the most hardcore Packer fan you can imagine. He was with his young son who was wearing a Mahomes jersey, says his kid is a huge Chief fan. This is a Green Bay kid growing up within minutes of Lambeau. I've never seen a player on another team, let alone the Chiefs, who had that kind of impact on young fans around here. He's just one of many that I've seen as well. When you're making that kind of impact across the country, you can afford to take less coin. |

Wait, did Florio complain about this again? I have seen this topic all over the place this morning. Usually happens when Florio writes some garbage piece about how Mahomes taking less money is screwing the rest of the league, and really seems quite upset about it.

He is #1 in actual cash value for the next 4 years I believe.

Mahomes doesn't think he's "underpaid"... all that matters.
If he ever does... then him and his agent will go back to Veach and the Chiefs will adjust his contract... as they have done multiple times now. But that non-drama situation will not stop Florio from desperately trying to make this into an issue to create content for his lame show. |

Guys like MJ, Brady, Mahomes, etc.. will always be underpaid if you just base it off their sport contract. They make up for it w endorsements..
Like Mahomes said, he is set for life and his family is well taken care of. He doesn't need more money. He'd rather the extra money they could give him be spent else where so Chiefs have a better chances of winning. He's ultra competitive and you can tell losing really takes it's toll on him. Other QBs aren't taking this approach - that's on them. Nothing wrong w that, to each their own. You can't expect everyone to be ultracompetive like Mahomes is.

Between the WR bitchfest last year was another thread that a poster felt Pat was making too much money.
