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. The risk of a 10 year deal is unbelievably risky right now. Nfl is al tv money and with gambling money coming in the franchises will make even more

If I were his agent I would make sure at least by year 4 he has an opt out.

Really, so how are the Sports Networks doing right now? Streaming and changing technologies are doing a number of conventional networks. What if there is no NFL this year?

davefan66 Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Got to be in the 400k range, and then incentives. Worth every penny. He didn’t just break the bank...he is the bank!

Sorry, my tense are all messed up. What I was saying is that those players that wanted short deals were negotiating pre-cba. Mahomes is now post-cba. Edited July 6, 2020 by JoshAllenHasBigHands 1

I don’t disagree but that’s a strong guarantee number IMO. As crazy as it sounds the longer deal with the higher guarantee swings back to the player IMO. Years 1-4 (advantage player), years 5-8 (advantage team), years 9-10 (advantage player). Football is a violent, violent game and the Chiefs would have to insure against an injury at least at some level I’d think? Mahomes is taking the security in this case vs. straight market value. I also assume that it’s tied to the cap at some level whether officially or unofficially. 1

whatdrought Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 No knock on Mahomes, but I can’t see this truly ending well. Either they have a bunch of buyouts built in (which is unlikely as why would he sign) or else they are truly stuck with him for 10 years, which is insane. 1 1
