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.

Yeah this is unprecedented length of a contract for a star QB in the current league climate. Most wouldn’t take a deal that long since any agent who knows anything would advise highly against it because of the rising salary cap, but Mahomes decided it was worth it to do 12 years with the yearly average being that much higher than the previous highest paid. I think this is a very very team friendly deal in the long run though it’ll also depend a bit on how it is structured and obviously there is tremendous risk for the Chiefs if he gets injured or his play slips (unlikely and I’d say well worth the gamble). 
 

Mahomes could’ve gotten so much more in the long run if he did a series of shorter deals but he clearly values establishing a legacy in KC and winning championships—thus more endorsement money to probably outweigh any lost opportunity for salary.

I guess the one good thing that came out of this and cams departure is we won’t have to worry about paying Cam 42 mil next year.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY

What in the world??? That's 50% higher than the next highest contract. At that rate, I'm not sure Mahomes' contract will ever look like a bargain. Maybe fair value at some point but those numbers are just absurd right now. But hey, if they can pull off the financials and still field a competitive team, more power to them.

That works in basketball but with how Cam's career has transpired I'm locking in as long possible if I'm an elite QB.

Especially during this Covid stuff. I’m locking in to a long term contract quick if I have the opportunity

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
