DJB Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1703847138982006793?s=20 The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have restructured his agreement, giving him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026, the most money in NFL history over a four season span. His compensation for those years is now guaranteed. Also, the Chiefs and Mahomes plan to re-visit the agreement again after the 2026 season, as told to ESPN by Equity Sports CEO, Chris Cabott, who negotiated the deal on behalf of Mahomes.

Virgil Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) So, now he makes 52 mil per year, for the next 4 years, all guaranteed? Plus, he’s a FA when this is done. Is that correct? I wonder why this happened when it did. Did Mahomes request this because he felt underpaid? He now makes the Watson deal not the standard for contracts. I have to assume this is the deal that make’s guaranteed deals a real thing in the NFL. This is quietly huge and game changing Edited September 18, 2023 by Virgil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is quietly huge and game changing Yes the standard when you can argue you are equivalent to Mahomes and should get the same deal and contract terms...except there isn't anyone else who can at this point and likely won't be in the future either outside of 1 or 2 players.

I agree with you logically. However, players and agents don’t operate that way. Every new contract for a top 10 guy will demand to beat this. On some level, I hope Tua stays healthy and wins a playoff game. That contract could cripple the Dolphins. Also, Chiefs are going to be hard pressed to buy anyone else to support Mahomes. Should be interesting 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Knew he wasn’t going to play the entire 10 years under that $45M/yr amount, but I didn’t think the pay raise would happen so quickly. AND include another option to renegotiate for even more after the raise expires. Josh’s agent is licking his lips somewhere. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 “It’s not about being the highest-paid guy,” Mahomes said. “It’s not about making a ton of money. I’ve made enough money where I’ll be set for the rest of my life. But at the same time, you got to find that line where you’re making a good amount of money but you’re still keeping like great players around you so you can win these Super Bowls and you’re able to compete in these games.” Read more at: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article275756221.html#storylink=cpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought only bonuses or deals spread out could be messed with. I’m no expert either. I think what this does is move money from the later years up so his cashflow can be comparable to his value to the team. He was far behind the other top qbs in the league in terms of cashflow. They will most likely convert compensation to signing bonus so his cap hit would be less in the next few years. This deal doesn’t replace his existing deal. He still has years on the contract. This just move money upfront for him. Good for KC taking care of their guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Eagles this week and some winnable games after. Bucs also have a history of letting older players ride out their contract and hit the market. More times than not it works out like it did with Lavonte David this year and they end up getting them back at a reasonable price. I don't see them moving Evans.

Also, Chiefs are going to be hard pressed to buy anyone else to support Mahomes. Should be interesting Dolphins are an interesting like... all-in case? They added Armstead, Ramsay, Hill, and Chubb's deals to a young core and it seems to be working. But they have a lot of contributors on rookie deals beyond Tua, and they were all drafted in a condensed little window when they had like 20 picks in 2 years. Just a weird example of a team drafting a ton of talent in rounds 1/2 over a 2 year period, and getting to the end of those deals and having to make tough decisions all at once. 5th year options and tags are just killers in your ability to maneuver in free agency (all cap hit, can't restructure) - and they have 4 of those coming up quickly (Tua, Jackson - he sucks but lets include him for this exercise, Waddle, Phillips) - as well as likely tag usage in 2024 (Wilkins) and 2025 (Holland). It's no wonder they traded Igbinoghene - even if he improved they wouldn't have been able to add him to a 5th year if they wanted to.

Maybe Josh takes less than he could actually get, but to think he won’t get money in the same area or exceed those contracts isn’t realistic.
