Bad for Mahomes? Yeah, he could have gotten more on fewer years and then re-upped. But he didn't. Again, who the hell are these people to judge what is best for another man?
Bad for the Chiefs? You're a fucking idiot if you think this. We could have gotten spanked, but at the end of the day we would have locked up perhaps the best QB the league has ever seen. The cherry on top is that we have cap flexibility from year to year.

There is not an elite player in the league who wants a $10M signing bonus. Mahomes really gave the Chiefs a sweetheart deal on the front end of this contract. [Reply]
Skip says the Chiefs messed it up for other teams-lol So fucking what- that is what works for us.
This interview is already dated- the Chris Jones contract just ended all their arguments. We could not have done that deal without the Mahomes contract being done this way. [Reply]

Imagine if the Patriots swung this kind of deal. Oh yea, they kinda did. [Reply]

Sure, it was team friendly but that was on purpose. And the team just used that money saved to resign Jones. Jones needs to give Mahomes some of that money or at least contribute some money to Mercy in his name.
He's on the cover of GQ. He's got some sort of national deal with Coors Light. He's going to get a lot more than a HALF of a BILLION $'s. Why would he not want to play on a competitive team? [Reply]
He doesn't get to test FA every 5 years, but if he gets injured like Alex Smith did, or gets injured to where he's not the same, he's guaranteed money to pay him in injury settlement as well. It works both ways. [Reply]
