This thread is funny. Yes mahomes got a monster deal, biggest ever etc.. but a) he is the hottest QB stock in the league.. absolutely no limit on what he could do over the next 12 years. b) he is so superior to Dak it isn't even a question. c) his deal, when averaged out, is very team friendly and gives KC security at the QB position... d) if Mahomes 'holds out' like Dak then he ends up with a much higher pay day imho..
So once again we see a TRUE class player.. mahomes.. walk the talk and sign a team friendly (but still monster) deal that is fair.
Dak just talks about the team.. in the end he has done everything to show that just wants a pay day that he hasn't earnt and would cripple the team.
If this is a huge red sign for those still obsessed with the notion Dak is somehow a 'leader' then I don't know what will show you.
His 10 year deal when averaged out is more than 45 million per season with guarantees that basically make him uncuttable wtihout massive penalties (there is not a single year where you can cut him and have less than 35 million in dead money) and ensure that about halfway through the deal he will get another extension that gives him a raise. The only team friendly aspect is that it ensures that Mahomes will be a Chief for the next 12 years and for all but maybe 2 of those seasons will be the leagues highest paid player despite that title normally not being held by the best player at a position. Maybe Mahomes could get an extra 1-1.5 million waiting but he basically maxed out the amount of money a QB could get with the current salary cap.
Meanwhile no current or former Cowboys questions Dak's leadership skills. Not a single one. You would think SOMEONE even anonymously would be saying something about his leadership but it does not exist. Meaning the only people who question Dak's leadership are the people who have never actually been in the same locker room as him for any length of time.
