OT: Mahomes signs 10-year, $400+ million extension

[QDOG5]

It's like 1.5 mil/half of a qtr., 750k/qtr of a qtr., 375k/eighth of a qtr
Chiefs averaged 61 offensive plays per game last year =16,393.44 per play and 36 pass attempts per game =27,777.77 per game. But, let's say they run an average of one flea flicker per game so Mahomes only averages 35 passes a game = 28,571.43 It's a new game called Let's divide Pat Mahomes salary. Based on 10 mil per game.

His contract, by year is:

2021: 22.8m
2022: 29.5m
2023: 40.4m
2024: 37.9m
2025: 41.9m

That's 172.5m over the next 5 seasons.

Dak Prescott wants 175m for the next 5 years. Which QB would you rather have for that price?

Ironically, lunatic Cowboy fans can't quite grasp this fact. They somehow think this raises his price when it probably lowers it or makes it more likely he accepts the deal already on the table for 5 years, rather than 4.

I think if Lamar wins big he may top that contract.

I think if Lamar wins big he may top that contract.

We'll see. There is no real historical comp for a full time running QB. Whenever they pop up, the league adjusts. It remains to be seen if Jackson is the exception to that rule. He threw the ball extremely well, although not that much, in addition to leading the league in yards per attempt rushing. But so did Mike Vick, and RGIII, and Randall Cunningham. They were all going to revolutionize the position.

Wow, that's more than $10m per game or $6m+/ half, $3million/qtr.

I don't follow NFL monetarily, but would this mean they have less to spend on surrounding him with good players (like the NBA)? I would think the priority is the offensive line, then receivers.

As a comparison Lamar Jackson recently signed a three-year, $54 million extension. He's more an injury risk than Mahomes due to his style. If he wins the big one though, he'll be next.

Dak needs a new team, if you ask me. Something about them Cowboys just isn't good.

$10m per game? How did you get that figure?

Lamar is still on his rookie contract for 3 more years, but I expect he'll get a new contract by the end of next year.
