jetlord 10,209 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 What's the advantage of announcing that now? There's probably a good reason, but Mahomes will cost more when he finally is signed long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 it gives the team flexibility to address Jones and to see how the cap numbers will work. Announcing this just removes any media bullshit that Mahomes himself or the chiefs organization has to deal with. Its a good move as long as Mahomes is happy. Sure...it may cost more down the line, but that is a okay risk with a player such as Mahomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I think they may not have been able to do it until now-ish? I'm pretty sure these can't be exercised until after the 3rd year, not sure of the date. It's just a formality unless talks really fall apart.

Plus he hasn't won a superbowl in, like, months. DieHard and mex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would have thought Pat needed the competition. Guess they're just going to hand Pat the job instead of making him earn it. oldtimer, West and mex 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I do have a question, this doesn’t concern pat but in general. in the new cba 5th year options now cost almost as much as franchise tags. I wonder if this is retroactive to draft picks prior to this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because of the shortened offseason and wanting continuity. He’s familiar with the offense and has super bowl experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I am glad in this COVID era there was still time for a great 5th year of exercise. Got to keep things in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta do it a year in advance....I believe the 5th year option is also ONLY guaranteed for injuries and the player can be released/traded anytime before the start of that 5th year season and the team is not on the hook....unless the player fakes an injury So I guess we could still cut Pat before next season muahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Mahomes would hit FA but that's what would happen after year 4 in case of no tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
