Is being the highest paid QB in the league *usually for a short time* worth having less money to spread around? Will Quarterbacks ever stop wanting taking a little less than the max like Mahomes seems to be doing? It will be incredibly interesting to see how it plays out.
Hearing Mahomes talk today, it seems clear that he has a Brady-like mindset when it comes to contracts..
Interesting to hear his quote about his responsibility to other QBs throughout the league to set a high $$$ number as QB1 of the NFL.
At the same time, knows that taking 1/3
too much money will be a detriment to the team. All these guys getting huge contracts (Hurts, Lamar, Burrow soon) are no doubt amazing players, but do they ever stop being the highest paid guy in the league? 2/3
KC still needs another receiver.. 👀
The group of MVS, Sky Moore, and Toney just doesn’t seem like a finished product. Look for the Chiefs to be in on DHop and possibly Odell.
Would have to make the $$ work, but would be taking a risk not addressing before the draft #DHoptoKC
As I wrote @fivethirtyeight, the #Chiefs are a total joke with analytics and player valuations and drafts and trades but they have the GOAT QB and a genius playcaller so it doesn't matter. We don't have to pretend they're smart though.
Been advocating for DHop to KC for weeks while everyone in the KC media has been preaching to stay away! I think DHop gets a lot of hate for having a lot left in the tank..
I'll put my $$$ on another 1,000 yard season!

The #Bucs are pursuing QB Baker Mayfield, but several other teams also have expressed interest in the former No. 1 overall pick, per sources. A lot of moving parts in the QB market an hour into the negotiating window.
The last cornerback trade to net a lot of good picks…
The Jalen Ramsey trade of 2019.
Carolina got Stephon Gilmore for a 6th in 2021 and the Eagles got Darius Slay for a 3rd and a 5th in 2020. 🤯
He’s due 17 Million in 2023 so you gotta have money to pay the man as well.
He went for 2 1sts and a 4th previously so you’d think they would want at least a 1st or 2nds..
A Jalen Ramsey trade looks something like..
Jalen, 7th Rounder
🔁
1st, 4th Rounder
