ramssuperbowl99 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 4 hours ago, INbengalfan said: The rumor floating around some circles is he is going to negotiate cap % instead of hard numbers, but I have no idea if that's accurate. How would this actually work? Would the contract break all of the money into % of the cap as well? So Joe Burrow is getting 2% of the cap as an option bonus each year or something? If they don't do it that way, I'm sure he could still sign a deal, but I don't see how he could sign a team friendly deal. If he's just making a flat 15% of the salary cap or whatever that gives the Bengals no ability to defer his deal or add void years or take advantage of cap inflation or any of the other things teams do that make the deal team friendly.

He’s still getting 40+/year plus all his endorsements. Stop with the He wants to win more then anything BS. So does Justin, Jalen, Lamar and eventually Joe. When Mahomes signed his deal he was the highest paid QB in NFL history. The market has reset itself. He is not Tom Brady taking a discount to win SB becuase to my knowledge Pat doesn't have a Wife making 45M a year, like Tom did for most of the 2010 decade. Mahomes in the next year or two will be making $60M a season. No doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are already forgetting his recent quotes saying "I've always said I worry about legacy and winning rings more than making money at this moment" And also this "We see what's going on around the league, but at the same time, I'll never do anything that's going to hurt us from keeping the great players around me. So it's kind of teetering around that line" https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37722831/patrick-mahomes-priority-legacy-winning-rings-not-money Edited July 26, 2023 by Sad People 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though 2 months ago he said he value rings and legacy more than money? In that same exact interview he said "It's not about being the highest-paid guy; it's not about making a ton of money. I've made enough money where I'll be set for the rest of my life" That cute that you think that. There will be a time when Mahomes gets a new deal or new money but itll be the same team friendly deal he already signed with KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it be a similar deal if the Going rate for FQB is no longer $40M a season, but $55-60M? You're being extremely naive if you think the best QB in the NFL is going to intentionally restructure another "team friendly " 👌 deal 15-20M under the current FQB market. His 2027 salary (62M), will become his base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Burrow reportedly is going to leave money on the table for his guys as well… yeah we will see. He’s going to be the highest paid player here shortly and we will see how much is left on the table for the others. Guys say a lot of things… Mahomes will be seeking new and more money.

I would think your ask goes up, not down when you start rubbing shoulders with guys like Michael Rubin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
