Their earnings window is so much longer than anyone else's. For someone like Mahomes, he'll have at least 3 'major' contracts. For the vast majority of his teammates, they'll get 1 - if they're lucky. So if you're Mahomes and over the course of 15 years of 'big' contracts you can make, say, $600 million instead of $750, you've significantly improved the odds of your team putting a competitive product around you. Yes, you took a ton less than you could have, but you're still set up for 3-4 generations in terms of wealth. But if you're Jones - get while the gettin's good because it's likely the best shot you'll ever have at getting big money. |
