Right now six guys are getting big money on this team:
- Mahomes (will be for the next decade)
- Jones (will be for the next 3-4 years)
- Kelce (one more year, max)
- Taylor (one more year most likely)
- Creed (four more years)
- Thuney (one to three more years)
OK, now who on the roster needs paid and you are basically 100% confident will get it right now? To me, the list is:
- McDuffie
Now, who looks on track to get a pay day, most likely will, but maybe won't? It's:
- Bolton (find out soon)
- Karlaftis
- Rice (has to stop being a dumbass, won't get it any sooner than 2026/27)
- Worthy (barring a major turn, appears ripe to be a long term piece, won't get it any sooner than 2027/28)
That's it. And most the guys above who need to or may get paid will be hitting long after some guys from the current list are off of it.
Money is not an issue and should be no barrier to signing a solid LT right now. Laying it out this way, you can see how important this draft class is coming up in April.
