These big QB contracts always seem to hamstring the team's ability to maintain or develop SB contenders for a few years after . The Hawks for example didn't get better with Wilson's record contract . Mahomes has a good shot at bringing another SB to KC , but it better happen soon before the team loses key players .
Wilson a steal now !! Mahomes huge deal

Daks should ask for a cool billion. He’s worth it,! /endsarcasm
Hate to say it, but they need a position cap number for this league. Otherwise the game will be about one or two high paid players and the rest of the team grabbed off the street. That is why I stopped watching the NBA many years ago. Hope the same thing doesn't happen with the NFL.
Most high end QBs are a bargain when you consider their value to the franchise and the value of the franchise and revenue generated.
Mahomes and Wilson would get considerably more in a true free market.
I'll never agree with putting a cap on wages, but I do think that there maybe needs to be some sort of cap relief allowances when re-signing guys that you drafted. Allows guys to get paid what they deserve while keeping teams together and less incentive to try to buy a better team in free agency.

I'd rather have Mahomes at his age, even at that figure. Seahawks haven't done anything with their extra cap space anyways except waste it on fringe starters.. (yeah this offseason has made me extremely salty).

Revenue drying up could make his next contract worth less than it is currently. Player salaries cannot continue to climb if there isn't enough income to pay them.
I have my doubts that football will continue to rake in the dough as it becomes increasingly politically activist in nature. I'd guess that most fans want to watch football as an escape from the divisions all around us; we get to unify around our appreciation for athletic ability, strategy, rules-of-engagement, etc., and then around our local logo/team identity/players/coaches.

Why is NFL pay vastly outpacing the rest of the workforce?
Where do they keep getting all the extra money?

Maybe a good NFL salary vs. cap compromise is that the team can pay a QB anything they want but the position of QB1 will only count towards a set amount of the salary cap. Or, you can have every team select a position each year as "salary cap exempt"which of course will be the highest paid position.

Us not getting better has more to do with bad Fa signings, trades and drafting as much as his contract. And a HC who refused to build a system around that QB. Something Mahomess will not have to worry about.

well I would not want Mahomes but I agree with the sentiment. Our in ability to go beyond 2nd round is on bad draft, bad FAs, and bad system for what we have.

Then you support the philosophy of rich teams buying championships. In your version, the Patriots would have won about 16 of the last 18 Super Bowls. To hell with that.KinesProf":2pedxqwx said:

Sooner or later there will just be one player on O or D. The QB.

I’m pretty sure the team doesn’t revoke your Russ Fan Boy Card if you admit that another QB is good.

Let them squander about their cap when paying their star QB, and blame the other teams because of their unintelligent ways when they don't have the same type of QB. I believe this personally equates to "MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR"

After 2022, I fear the Hawks will be back to SOS. Wilsons contract will be up. Maybe by then they just offer 51% of franchise ownership instead of money, then Covid kills everyone, or we get "that" asteroid.
I think Russ pulls a Brady on his next contract. Realizes he needs to give up his greed and he's earned a crap ton. His royalties and endorsements will make up plenty for any lost earnings and maybe some sponsors will kick in extra 
to make up for the Russ's wage losses.
What a haul for Mahomes though. Good for him.

Seems to be the trend.
I don't think there's a QB in the league who won a SB AFTER he got his top of the league contract. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Isn't that why Brady has taken middle of the road money? To keep talent around him and keep winning?
