The benefits of a 10 year contract vs a 4 year deal. What should really tick everyone off is that over the course of Mahomes's 10 year deal, Dak will make more money that Patrick.
Dak's 4 year deal was as stupid a move for Jerry as giving him $40 million. Jerry would have been better giving Dak $40 million in salary for 4 years, then at least he wouldn't be stuck with the pro-rated bonus money he pushed out to the end of Dak's contract.. But this is what happens when you use contracts like credit cards. And we are going to do it again. If Dak signs another short term deal Jerry has to make it cap friendly in the first years then take the biggest hits at the end of the contract. If Dak signs for $60 million, be prepared for the final year of Dak's contract to be $90 million against the CAP.
Jerry has to stand firm on this contract. He cannot give away all his leverage, non can he mortgage the future when Dak will be 36. The problem is, Jerry gave up all the leverage to Dak in his last deal. Now he is pretty much stuck with 2 choices. Pay Dak again, or take a couple of rebuilding years at least by letting Dak play out his last year then take a huge CAP hit next year when Dak leaves.
Who Falcons have?
