Twitter: Mahomes extension underway

_sturt_ · May 28, 2020

This whole drama as-if this stall until 7/15 is all about Dak wanting x-money for x-years and the Joneses not being willing to pay it?

Nonsense.

It's about Dak wanting to wait to see if Mahomes signs something in the interim.

If he does, it potentially re-sets the market and gives him an extra wad of money. If he doesn't, then Dak at least hasn't committed to something prematurely and live to regret it... the choice, in that case and at that point, will be a straight-up question of if he likes the offer on the table enough to sign, or would rather play a year under the franchise tag.

Is it really possible to regret getting paid 35 million per year?

Smart move by Dak

Exactly, but IMO this just makes it more likely nothing happens anywhere until July 15th and it still comes down to one side blinking at the last minute.

Cross your fingers the Chiefs don't firehose money at Mahomes first.

KC being really smart.
You don't think their not rushing to sign their franchise stud for the moon.
Dak can have table scraps at 107m guaranteed.

I'm beginning to think the Player's Union might be whispering in ears here.
I remember a certain player for a certain sport signing on to a team for less than market value (to help win a Championship) and the Player's Union had gripes about the precedent it was leaving and trying to protect players' salaries.

This was like 2, maybe 3 years ago.

I can't think of a Union that would forgive and forget such a thing. They are trying to drive player salaries up because, you know... they represent the players. Little guys be damned, but that's another story.

Maybe. Just imagine if Mahomes signs a contract that is team friendly (ie Brady) because he wants to win lots of SB then Dak screwed himself.

If Mahomes signs before Dak he's an idiot.

It could backfire just as easily. If Mahomes signs for anything around 35 million and more years than 4 then he will be stuck.

Dak still hasn't earned nor does he deserve what Mahomes is going to get.

DALTON is the key to a championship!!!!

He won't. Think about it. If you're Mahomes and you know Dak is aiming for upwards of 40 million, what are you setting your price tag at?

WillieBeamen · May 28, 2020

Good. Dak being the highest paid QB wouldve been a joke :laugh:

RandyOh · May 28, 2020

If he thinks he deserves more or equal to a Superbowl winning QB, Superbowl MVP, and regular season MVP at this point in his career then I give up on him.

He could never do that. Hes a transcendant player.

Either way Dak is getting a raise. If Franchise Tag is top 5 Salaries or no?

Section446 · May 28, 2020

It's insulting to Mahomes to mention Dak's name in the same sentence.

ShortRound · May 28, 2020

Dak won’t come close to Mahommes money he’s dreaming if he’s thinking that.

Mr_437 · May 28, 2020

Interesting...
