If you said “Dallas is pissed ?“ I wouldn’t have commented. I interpreted the smiley face as laughing AT the pissed off party. It wasn’t just you either. Others had the same reaction. The point remains that giant contracts, at the same position, are great for impending free agents. They celebrate them because it means they will be getting more. That’s true in all cases.

Cap Space (Top 51): $3,544,366 2021 Est. Cap Space (Top 51): $22,520,20 with 52 "active" players on the books 2022 Est. Cap Space (Top 51): $111,796,672 with only 36 "active" players on the books NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report that the 10-year deal is worth up to $503 million, with a rolling guarantee structure that would pay Mahomes $477 million over 12 seasons. Mahomes will be fully guaranteed $63 million at signing and will have $103.5 million guaranteed by March of 2021 and $141.4 million guaranteed by March of 2022, if he's still on the roster at that point, according to Pelissero. (Feels like a safe bet!) Rapoport added that there is a no-trade clause in the deal. https://www.nfl.com/news/winners-and-losers-from-patrick-mahomes-contract-extension So it’s a 3-year deal worth $47M per year with a series of team options afterward. Should he see all 10 years of the deal, the “new money” average is $39.75M per season. That, to me, is right in-line with the market. Russ gets $35M per, so for youth, escalation, and a new CBA, just under $40M on a new-money-average basis makes perfect sense. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Mahomes has enough money to buy the Sabres and keep the Pegulas afloat. Things always work out. LOL Bro, who cares about 5 years from now.....so in the meantime it is fine for the Chiefs to keep spending millions annually on Mahomes, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the roster drops to 30 starters is it really meaningful to go further? Lets ballpark and say that 20 new players sign, on average, at $5 Million 20 is $100 Mil. That's the cap available for 2022. And still w/o PM's $. https://sports.yahoo.com/problems-patrick-mahomes-contract-130254739.html The problems with the Patrick Mahomes contract Mike Florio ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports July 7, 2020 It’s difficult for me to criticize the Patrick Mahomes contract, because the criticism of the contract is not and should not be regarded as criticism of Patrick Mahomes. Ultimately, he has the right to sign whatever contract he wants to sign. Two years, five years, 10 years, 12 years, 20 years. But the problem is that Mahomes is the best player currently in the NFL, with the arrow pointing straight up. He potentially could become the best player in league history, at any position. His skills and abilities deserve if not command a contract that reflects his unique talents and blindingly bright future. The contract he has signed does not. The point is that a lot can happen in 12 years. One thing that can’t happen in 12 years is that Mahomes can’t make himself into a free agent. He’ll only become a free agent if the Chiefs cut him in order to avoid the fancy-sounding “guarantee mechanisms” that basically are a series of large annual roster bonuses.

GunnerBill Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 1 hour ago, machine gun kelly said: Gug’s, I was thinking the same. Brady has 20 years of success, Manning, 18, and Mahomes is anointed after two. I think he’s great to date, but the GOAT? We can talk in 10+ years. To be fair he didn't call him the GOAT. He called him the most talented. I have always said Rodgers is the most naturally talented of my era watching the NFL but I think Mahomes may well take that crown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Wow! I believe this might be the biggest/richest contract in professional sports history. I think before this it was Mike Trout (MLB) signing that $425M deal in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt imagine that, never said or intimated that. And yes a half a billion contract can easily effect a franchise with a value of $2.1 billion, if you can't "imagine" that, it is your problem.
