You down-vote me again and I'll meet you at the George Brett statue to tell you in person you aren't getting a happy birthday thread next year. Bitch. [Reply]

Those are cap hits, not cash. Mahomes’ cash flow is $53M per year from 2023 to 2027 and never goes above $60M in any single year. The cap hits are pretty high because of earlier years where the Chiefs moved some of the cap money into the future. [Reply]
I get that everyone wants to get paid what the market will give them. But I also just don't understand why a guy this heavily scrutinized wouldn't take a pay cut if it makes his team better. Is going from stupid rich to ridiculously rich that worth it if you're constantly harassed for not getting the job done? [Reply]

Prescott has a chip on his shoulder because Dallas used the franchise tag on him instead of giving him a new contract after his 3rd year in the league. So he’s gonna squeeze them for every dollar. It’s a funny situation. And now every other QB will want more money than Prescott. [Reply]

Sure, but it's just weird for me. No QB gets dogged as much as he does for not getting the job done. Why not silence the critics by surrounding yourself with a great team. [Reply]

Ego is a big part of it. Will be hilarious if he has a shitty game today right after getting that contract. [Reply]
