Several ownership-level sources believe that Chargers owner Dean Spanos would have a difficult time stroking a check covering what could be the $250M-$275M in guarantees required to secure Herbert's rights for the long term. "I'm not sure that's something Dean could do under these circumstances even if he really wanted to," one ownership source said. Several others suggested that if they had to handicap the situation, Bengals owner Mike Brown would exhaust the franchise tags with Burrow – taking him through 2026 and his age 30 season – and draft a replacement along the way. |
Yet another reason to be uber thankful for Mahomes contract.
Locking him up when we did, as long as we did, and for that price AND Mahomes and his agents being willing to 'play ball' for the best interests of the team going forward.
This contract will be the gift that keeps on giving years and years ahead . . . . . .
