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...
90sBills Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 5 minutes ago, Virgil said: Treat me like a child here because I don’t get that. If it’s all fully guaranteed, how does that give them more flexibility? Doesn’t that lock them into a hard number that can’t be touched or divided? 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...

Same with Joe Burrow, all these guys want to be paid as much as they can get, regardless of how it hampers the team. It’s not shocking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 4 minutes ago, FieldGeneral said: Immediately thought of Mike Evans. Bucs are 2-0 and Baker is actually playing well. 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.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 49 minutes ago, Virgil said: 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 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.

ngbills Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Chiefs get an extra $3M or so in cap space from this. The cap is a weird thing...give a guy more money sooner and you get more money to spend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 It was on the Chiefs message board. Think Field Yates was reporting that or something. https://x.com/FieldYates/status/1703869235317919883?s=20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Hurts and Herbert got a ton of money, Tua and Lawrence are gonna get paid-Josh will get a significant bump when he renegotiates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
