There is such a cognitive dissonance when it comes to how fans feel about holdouts and how fellow players feel about.

And I'm sorry, but Mahomes taking "less" overblown IMO. He signed the biggest deal in NFL history when he signed and will do it again in 2 years. Dude gets $45 to $50mil a year just like all the other QBs that have signed recently.

Man I actually agree with you (despite my dumbassery in this thread today). I've kind of fallen back on chiefs discussions in here cause good discussions are at an all time low here and yeah, I've kind of gotten to the "whatever happens, happens" stage when it comes to the Chiefs. For the most part, no matter what moves are made, Mahomes usually covers any moves that don't work out.

Not individually but 3 quality starters that we could keep instead of lose to free agency absolutely could be more valuable than Jones.

Crazy good times!

Overblown... Kelce and Mahomes deals are both extremely team friendly in dollars and structure based on the talent.

Big fan of the K City Chiefs

Headline has nothing to do with article. Mahomes had the 2nd highest cap hit last year and will have the highest one this year. He has around the same aav as the most recently signed QBs. And that's OK. He fully deserves it. But the narrative that he took so much less is weird.

And Kelce was the highest paid tight end when he signed his deal too. He's only underpaid when you compare him to Wide Receivers.

Did you even read the article.... LMAO. So it is your position that neither Kelce or Mahomes are currently on team friendly deals. They are the future GOATS and are underpaid by choice...

Offer him a 4 year deal for 29 mill a year with a 80 mill guaranteed and extend Bolton and Sneed.

How are they underpaid when they both signed their deals at the top of the market at their respective positions?

I remember when Mahomes signed his deal and we were all celebrating how it would allow us to re-sign most of our great players because it was so "flexible" and team friendly and structured in a way we could move money around to keep players/sign FAs. That really hasn't planned out.

How is this any different from the contracts all the other top QBs have signed? I don't get it to be honest.

Offer him a tardy slip.

Both Aaron Donald and Tyreek/Adams deals were like $5M above the previous ceilings for DTs and WRs

Mahomes and Kelce are more valuable and could have tried to bend the Chiefs over a barrel.

They didn’t.

But they both were the highest paid at their position when they signed. A year or two later, any deal looks like a bargain because it's just going to keep going up.
