TBayXXXVII 2,116 Posted July 6, 2020 Good move based on his age. The last 5 years, he'll likely be a huge bargain. If I had to guess, I'm going to go with the AAV is $40M, so $400M deal with $240M guaranteed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 607 Posted July 6, 2020 We know it's going to be huge, but still waiting on the guarantees... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,116 Posted July 6, 2020 I don't think it'll be all that much over $400... I'll put the ceiling at $425, I'll go with $410M. The longer the deal, the lesser the "market value" on AAV. They get the more upfront/guaranteed money in lieu of the higher ceiling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted July 7, 2020 $450 million. If you made $50 an hour and worked 40 hour weeks for the last 4,000 years (that's 2,000 years before Christ, and 2,000 years after Christ), you would still need to work another 327 years before you could retire with the lifetime earnings equal to just this one contract (not counting anything Mahomes made before). Oh wait, it's 2020, so you get 20 more years of credit; you only have to work 307 more years before you can retire. Unless he meets the incentives to make that other $53 million, in which case you'll have to put in another 510 years. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 607 Posted July 7, 2020 I'm not a capologist but this reads more like a deal that's going to be redone by 2027. I think it's disingenuous to say he's getting $477 million guaranteed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted July 7, 2020 Mahomes will make $5,137 per hour for the next ten years. Not just when he's working... Every. Single. Hour. for the next ten years. Eating, sleeping, having sex, whatever... over $5 grand an hour. Yep, that's over $123,000 a day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted July 7, 2020 Parenthetically, I have always enjoyed this little comparision when grasping large numbers. One million seconds is just under 12 days. One billion seconds is just over 31 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 7, 2020 Imagine what Dak is thinking right now. His price just went up like 150mil. It’s gonna be funny when Jerry laughs. Mahomes was MVP and won the Super Bowl, I wish they would start setting a precedent that you only get a mega deal when you do something noteworthy. But they won’t and guys like Stafford and Carr will keep cashing in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd draft his replacement in after the 2021 season. Let Jackson play out that that 5th year and let him walk. At this point in time, his production is tied to his legs. They'll never last. I'll take the gamble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, if $337M is in a roster bonus, none of that is guaranteed. Neither is the base salary. Right? He's only getting paid if he's on the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure there's more info to come out, but looking at that spreadsheet, Mahomes signed a 10 year deal that will only guarantee him $10M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're grossly over rating how much impact 1 player has on the teams finances. So much of the revenue that each team makes is shared. There isn't much that the teams keep for themselves. Teams share the TV deal. So, whether Pat Mahomes or Alex Smith is the QB of the Chiefs, they're still getting 1-32nd of the pie. Teams share ticket sales. Each team keeps only 60% of the gate. The Chiefs were selling out with Alex Smith, now Pat Mahomes, and will if their QB is someone else. Teams share merchandise sales. When fans buy a jersey, that money goes to the NFL, regardless of who buys it and where. That money gets split at seasons end and the teams get 1-32nd of the pie. So, whether Alex Smith or Pat Mahomes, or Frozenbeernuts is the QB in KC, the league-wide merchandise pot isn't going to really fluctuate. These 3 things represent the substantial components of the money NFL teams make. That said, I do agree with you that it's not a waste of money. The deal is very team friendly in that he's under paid based on his performance and none of the money looks guaranteed, save $10M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, there is the fact that he's won more playoff games than probably any other Chiefs QB already so the team makes more from that. Although I'm being a bit facetious and if what you're saying is true (no reason to doubt it and not worth researching) seems to make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 8, 2020 Wouldn’t he have signed for like a ton less than that while still being the top paid player? I feel like they came in wanting to be the highest paid player and they made him the highest plus a ton extra. Who negotiated this? “Hey highest paid is 30 we want 40.” Chiefs are like “50! Done!”.

I don't know about that. In 2021: Mahomes = $22.8M, 7 other QB's make more. In 2022: Mahomes = $29.45M, Kirk Cousins will make more... possibly Dak too In 2023, Mahomes = $40.45M - he'll be the highest paid QB, but only 11 other QB's have a contract. In 2024, Mahomes = $37.95M - he'll be the highest paid QB, but only Wentz and Goff have contracts. If he gets every penny, he may only be the highest paid QB only once or twice between 2021 and 2027. My guess also, is that they'll be a restructure, as @Mike FF Today mentioned, at some point around then as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pelissero tweeted: Patrick Mahomes gets over $63 million fully guaranteed at signing and $103M by next March. Most of the salaries and bonuses vest a year or two before they’re due. The vesting of the salaries and bonuses a year or two early is what is unique to Mahomes' contract. It gives the player more security, makes it more difficult for the Chiefs to cut him without taking a big cap hit in not only one year, but probably two years. The more you dig into this contract is seems like a pretty good deal for both sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
