If Mahomes wants to win big over a long time, he will do a pretty good size discount for the Chiefs.
But it would be hard to blame him for looking around the league at guys like Mayfield, Trubisky, Wentz, and Goff...all of them got a lot more money than him on that first contract because of their spot in the draft. If he demands top dollar on the next contract, you really can't blame him. Mayfield's signing bonus alone was $6m higher than what Mahomes will be paid for his entire 4-year contract. |

Mahomes is potentially a billion dollar asset for the Hunts. They will pay him very well.

We'll have him forever. I do think he'll be like the Bradys of the world who want to get paid but understand the bigger picture. He's amazing. I couldn't begrudge him for a second of anything. |

Right now he leads the league in touchdowns, yards, and is tied for first in wins. Leads the highest scoring offense in the NFL, and did it all with a bottom 5 defense
No one deserves to be paid more than him (assuming his elite play continues). Worth EVERY penny. And then some |

How about this contract? Every year unless we renegotiate or cut him, Mahomes is the highest paid QB in football by $100. He'd be taking less at first, but he wouldn't have to worry about having some scrub make a lot more than him 8 years into his contract. Not sure how the guaranteed money would work - but someone can figure that out. Maybe 8 years guaranteed or something.

Something about people trying to count his money kind of rubs me the wrong way. If he continues to be the best QB in the NFL then he should get paid like one. Let's not try to cheapskate the guy. People are building up this expectation that if he doesn't take a discount, he's not a team player which isn't really fair. There's plenty of money left to put a team around the guy that can win.
A generational talent like Mahomes is invaluable in terms of not just what he does on the field but the attention he brings to the franchise. If we made him the highest paid QB in the league he's probably still "worth" double that. The difference between him and a guy like Cousins is just immeasurable. |

Any thought of him taking a discount on that first contract is stupid, that's the first REAL bit of money he's going to make and he will want as much of it as reasonably possible. He'll deserve it, and we will gladly oblige.
IMO I do think he's the type to take a discount on his second contract though, he'll be hitting his 30s by then, money won't be an issue then, and like Brady he'll want to chase those rings more than ever at that point.

He'll be to KC what Ray Lewis was to Baltimore. He could kill a mofo or 20 and it'd be all good so long as he brings home a Lombardi.
