Compared to the contract Mahomes will get, JG's contract may give them around $15 MM more flexibility on contracts.

Garropolo is the 9th highest paid QB currently, he will be a FA in 3 years.
Mahomes will get paid next year on a long term deal. It might sting for a year or two but by the time 2023 rolls around , youll be the ones sweating it while we already have the deal done and the caps will go up. Yes for a year or two mahomes will be the highest paid QB but thats always how it goes..as time rolls on it means less and less. So in a way its better to get the deal done sooner.
I mean....if he is already the 9th highest paid guy and he is as good as you say he is...what do you think hes gonna want in 2023?
