Less as a percent of the salary cap over the period of the contract(s).
- Mahomes' Contract
- Mahomes new money is 450M over 10 years with the 10 years starting in 2022.
- The NFL salary cap has increased on average 6.52 percent over the past 10 years.
- Using the same 6.52 percent, the NFL cap projects to average 303.76M the 10 year period.
- Mahomes 45M average is 14.8 percent the projected NFL cap.
- Dak's Contract
- A 5 year contract for Dak at 35M would be 16.4 percent of the projected cap.
- If Dak's agent wants to use Mahomes' contract as a basis for a 5 year contract for Dak:
- 33.5M over 5 years is the same 14.8 percent of the cap as Mahomes' contract.
I think the percentage of the cap metric is a bit broken in this example.
Players care about guaranteed money (the earlier the better)
“Mahomes will be fully guaranteed $63 million at signing and will have $103.5 million guaranteed by March of 2021 and $141.4 million guaranteed by March of 2022“
I haven’t seen a full breakdown of Dak’s offer but he isn’t getting 141.4 guarantee by 2022.
