So what happens when he gets injured?

Mitchell Trubisky can no longer live in disgrace

He gets cut the next year and signed by the Patriots for bargain basement backup money and then he makes a miraculous physical recovery to his peak self.

I mean from the team's perspective - I mean he's already a multi-millionaire and I don't really care about him personally lol

Injury guarantee is $140m but I'm not sure over how many years, and the salary is guaranteed a year in advance. So they have to pick up his 2024 option in 2023, so if he gets big time injured in first game in 2023 they're screwed for an additional season.

Ok overthecap has it

Thanks for the info

Wonder how they’ll do keeping enough quality players around him plus D.

That’s a lot of jack.

Too bad he isn't married to a supermodel who makes more money than him so he can give the Chiefs a discount and circumvent the cap for the rest of his career.

Dak Prescott loving life about now.

guessing they'll trade their 3rd and 4th year players before they have to pay them to get extra high draft picks to allow them to draft high quality cheap players

wouldn't surprise me at all if they offload Chris Jones before the season

biggest winner is that shrieking munter of a girlfriend of his.

Well no, that wouldnt be cool at all man

The other 5 players (QBs obv) to get 10 year deals. On average -EV for sure.

He'll have a more endorsement deals that Bardy.

Hopefully fewer reality shows where he makes out with his future son.

I'm sure Brady's utter and thorough dominance of the National Football League throughout his career will be enough.

Oh yeah that supermodel wife though...whatever will Tommy do?!?

Lol suzzer wanting so hard

Good ol grando - always there to insta-troll me.

What makes you think Mahomes won't have mega-endorsement deals? Brady's missed out on a lot in the second half of his career by becoming this angry me-against-the-world persona. Also the son-kissing stuff was pretty weird.

Anyway the point is whatever Mahomes makes in salary - he'll probably make similar or more with endorsement deals.

Also the way salaries have blown up, the money Mahomes is making by starting now is probably similar to Tom being married to Gisele starting in the early 2000s. $500M is enough that you probably don't care if you're married to a supermodel or not.

Also Mahomes seems like he's not going to need to live a crazy expensive lifestyle. But things could change.

so it's basically a 3year/$71M contract and then they can cut him for a small cap hit after 2023, or am I reading this wrong?

Well I mean anything over like $10M is way past the threshold of normie of course

Mahomes is drawing really really slim to being > Brady in any aspect of non-combine-picture life, that's all. Being top 10 would be good I suppose!

Gonna suck when the cap shrinks 75m next year and they have to blow up the team.

then it's a good thing he can land the ball on a skeeter in a monsoon without gettin the laces wet

No, I've tried to cliff the following but it changes each year almost - essentially after 2023 they will have paid/will have to pay close to everything up to and including 2025.

As a sidenote, DeSean Jackson is posting some obscenely anti-Semitic stuff and is probably going to get himself cut
