I just threw 200 million out there. Whatever. My point was just that if I were Mahomes, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't need to be the highest paid player in the universe. I wouldn't need more than the 200 million. Honestly I wouldn't need more than a 100 million. When I was his age, yeah sure, I'd tell my agent I wanted as much as I could get, because back when I was in my 20s, I was about the money.
Now, 30 years later, I know that I don't need all of that, and if by taking less I could ensure continuous success, and great players around me every year, and still have more money than I'd ever be able to spend, I'd go that route 100% of the time.
But realistically in this scenario, I'm guessing somewhere around 250 million guaranteed? It'd still be the highest amount ever guaranteed, I think.
