It’s going to be WAY north of that. This isn’t a 10 year contract. From what I’m hearing, it’s a 10 year extension of the two years left in the current deal.

The endless era of every year NFL players getting more every inexorably could end in a heartbeat. The Sports Networks are financialy strapped right now and probably going to get worse, who in their right mind is going to want to shell out XYZ$ for a fooball ticket with 75K other people with COVID going around. OK I will take a shot at what he should be signing for what basically amounts to his entire career 10 years $525M/half guaranteed and I'd still hesitate if I were him tbh 1

The exchange was likely less in per year guarantees in exchange for extra years. The total may still be high, but the total is always an irrelevant number anyway. 1

He was going to get $40+ million a year on a short term deal. 12 years from now, QBs may well be topping $75 million figuring in roughly 5% inflation.

ocemur Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 That contract has to be worth close to 20% of the value of the franchise. The guaranteed money alone would be enough to make him a part owner. I wonder what the out clauses are. I'd be shocked if each side didn't have a way to pull the plug say, after five years or something.

Most "fans" had adopted this mentality that there is no end in sight to the salary cap increasing every year which, certainly, under these new circumstances, is, imo lunacy.
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Just now, GoBills808 said: How so? Players are at great risk for injury. They want longer contracts with more guaranteed money so if anything happens they know they are taken care of.

That was before Sports effectively stopped and people stopped wanting to go with 75K of their favorite strangers in a stadium for 4 hours. So how is ESPN doing financially lately? QBs MIGHT be topping $75 million in 10 years or might be getting a fraction of that. This concept that football will never drop in popularity is historically and hopelessly naive. The risk of a 10 year deal is unbelievably risky right now. Edited July 6, 2020 by RoyBatty is alive

They don't want to tie themselves down to something that will last past the new cba, which may open up the path for them to get substantially more money.

Right...so why would this be a good deal for Mahomes?
