Calichief 3,016 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I know there are many other things to talk about and this can wait, but it’s been on my mind... everyone is saying how mahomes will break the bank, everyone. he seems like a guy who will put winning first, I truly do with all the money he’s going to make in endorsements (probably record breaking), I could really see him taking less to win.. does anyone else think this is a possibility? especially if they fail to win this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Who knows. I doubt he takes a huge cut of pay as he will set the qb market. Either way they can get it done now at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think he will kinda do both.... I think he will become the highest paid QB by a million or so with a very high guarantee instead of going after some contract that’s 10 or so million higher than the current highest paid QB.

jetlord 10,209 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Mahomes might not want to break the bank, but his agent will. Not just for his commission, but for his reputation. Arrowhead78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The third and fourth contract is when discounts can happen. Mahomes will have the biggest contract ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm thinking there already has been an agreement not to do the contract thing until the next TV Contract comes about to not decimate the team.. but I also expect a high guarantee with an average of 45 Mil a year. I hope Hunt/Veach and Company are smart enough not to let this get adversarial.. the fan base will go ape shit West 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 He's given us a phenomenal performance on a rookie contract, he doesn't owe us anything. He deserves and should be the highest paid player in history. Next contract maybe, but this contract is his payday and should be. cpete918, qnet and West 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 A guy on the radio said that Pat might be the first to have a salary that is a percent of the cap. So as the cap grows his salary grows. Interesting thought and never been done. Something like 20% fully guaranteed for 5 years with options to extend I guess. They weren’t real specific about how it would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first contract will be enormous, then after he's made a mountain of money, subsequent contracts later in the career will be more friendly. He could have a career ending injury tomorrow and cost him millions. Get the money first, then once you're set like Brady or Mahomes who will be, then you can take less. cpete918 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't how accurate it is, but according to Pro-football-reference he makes $645,000 per season. That's a lot of money compared to most of us, but not compared to other NFL players who have done way less than Mahomes, some of them Chiefs Players..

ATLchief 3,126 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm guessing $38 - $40 million per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that Oakley deal is massive. I am by no means, saying he should do it. I just think he’s a different cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wouldn't mind him doing it, especially if it helped the team; I just wouldn't blame him if he didn't. My thoughts on the subject are coming from an emotional fan aspect. He's given me a lot of enjoyment & excitement watching the Chiefs, knowing they have a chance in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I think Pat gets the highest QB salary but doesn't really push the market as high as he could. He knows the importance of a team to win. I think Mahomes simply gets the highest QB contract but loses the "highest" within a year or two at most.

There's no real time limit but the signing bonus cannot exceed 5 years so that's why most contracts are done for 6. It would be possible to make a 10-year deal but that would require some weird guarantees involved. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 It makes no sense to sign him 10 years except in Madden and fantasy land. Too much can happen in that time span. Yes he's elite and i hope he's a chief for life, but real life stuff happens every day. What if he gets hurt and can't play the same after or something tragic happens in his family and the love of the game leaves? Both parties must have reasonable outs just in case. Gonna cost is now and again in 5 to 6 years, it's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
