Football contracts are a bit of a joke. It doesn’t start for 2 years and only $63mm is guaranteed. Chiefs can walk away whenever they want. If he keeps playing at his current level, he gets what the Chiefs “contracted to pay him.”
Mahomes is the best player in the NFL. He earned his contract. Clark Hunt, the CEO of the Chiefs, has earned exactly nothing but will gain a lot from the success that Mohomes will bring (and already has brought) the Chiefs.
@muddy “to be fair you can’t gaurantee contracts in the NFL like the MLB because everybody would be injured. It would be disaster.”
I understand what you are trying to say but the fact that there are so many injuries in football is PRECISELY why the nfl contracts should be guaranteed. The fact that they aren’t tells you all you need to know about who really holds the power in owners vs. players.
