Mahomes gets a 10 year deal.

[Squirrel]

Well deserved. 

[AggieLean]

I remember there was a poster that said Mahomes wasn’t elite lol.

This is a smart move on both sides. If you’ve got a franchise QB, you lock him up

[MechaZain]

You can't do it much better than that.

$400M reportedly. Haven't heard a guaranteed value yet.

Over 400M, which is 40M a year. They just destroyed the market.

It's been 10 years since Brees won the Super Bowl, too. Locking up the best quarterback you've ever had can sometimes look like guaranteed championships, but it isn't actually a guarantee at all.

I remember arguing with whatever idiot that was.

It's % based of the cap. This is what will help keep the chiefs competitive for years. All qb's need to do this.

Not true, it’s 10 years $450M, no tie to salary cap, still awaiting structure details.

signed through 2031; extensions include the remaining years.

Add up the years chief. Signed through 2031 is 12 seasons (2 left on rookie deal + 10 year extension).

Yes but the length of the contract was very team friendly and smart. This deal will be a complete steal sooner rather than later, I could see 5-10 QBs making more than him within 3 years for sure.

One of Cowherd's favorite topics is how to ruin a team by overpaying a superstar. He will be animated tomorrow.

As good as Brees has been throughout his career, he has never even come close to the level of Mahomes through just 2 seasons as a starter.

I vaguely recall that too. Wasn’t the guy a huge Russell Wilson fan or something, claiming Wilson was 10x better than Mahomes or some crap?

No, I don't think it had anything to do with Wilson. He just drew some random odd line into the sand about Mahomes. 

I want to say he included some laughable QB's that were "more elite" than Mahomes.

Nah, I agree but what’s the next highest right now? 35M? He’s going to be over 40 a year easy.  
 

My point is they just raised the QB market but 5 million because they didn’t give a fug about other teams. Reid’s trying to build a patriots-esque dynasty around Mahomes. While everyone one was nickel-and-diming before the new CBA, with a mil there, half a mil here. KC said fug it and really just threw a serious wrench into everything.
