This looks exactly like the Watkins contract. Pay him a big cap hit only in 2020 with a way out in year 3 if needed.
This was a damn good move
Absolutely. A damn good move. Chiefs fans are going to LOVE this cat. If he can't stay healthy (his only knock in my book), we move on without our cap being screwed for years. Great risk/reward.

I don't understand the people bitching about this? Dude is a fucking ball hawk and tackles like a MoFo....2 things our S position desperately lacked last season
#Chiefs paying Tyrann Mathieu a 3-year, $42 million deal just says to me that Andy Reid told the front office: "We can't be cheap and mess up this period with Mahomes on a rookie deal... it will be a lot harder to sign top FAs after Mahomes becomes the highest paid QB in league."
