Patrick Mahomes Signs $400m+ Contract

He can make up to 50.3m/yr with incentives, and I read that there are escalations in it after a few years to keep pace with an inflating salary cap.

 

Let’s see if they can still afford Chris Jones or have to trade him to us...

 

As of right now, the chiefs are between 3.5-6.2m under the 2020 cap with Chris Jones on the franchise tag (which he has refused to play under). They could surely sign him to a longer deal with less money in year 1 than the 16m he gets with the tag.
They're currently projected to have between 22-35m in 2021, but the following are all free agents (of their top 53):
DL Chris Jones
WR Sammy Watkins
LG Duvernay-Tardif
OLB Damien Wilson
FS Daniel Sorenson
CB Breshaud Breeland
RB Damien Williams
DE Tanoh Kpassagnon
WR DeMarcus Robinson
TE Ricky Seals-Jones
RT Mike Remmers
FB Anthony Sherman
CB Antonio Hamilton
RB DeAndre Washington
DE Demone Harris
DE Davaroe Lawrence
RB Elijah McGuire
CB Charvarius Ward
RG Andrew Wylie
TE Deon Yelder
RT Jackson Barton
QB Jordan Taamu
CB Alex Brown
OG Ryan Hunter
WR Byron Pringle

They will be a powerhouse again in 2020, but 2021 is going to be a whole different team.

 

Yeah, my statement was all in fun based on the previous post about the Chiefs not being able to afford depth due to the Mahommes contract. Sorry to those who put effort in a response or a negative rating.

 

Interesting...

 

Thats not that interesting because you cant sign many of those names to those same rookie deals their bonded to right now. On the open market $45M can get you a lot, but a better list would include guys on contracts that were able to negotiate their current deals.

 

Just read an article about Prescott and how Mahommes contract affects him...

seems the new number for Dak is 39mil a year. Please Dallas, sign him for 5 years 39mil a year.

 

Exactly. It's not interesting to have a list full of first and second rounders on their rookie deals.

Here's my list of 2020 FA and their 2020 cap numbers:

QB: Cam Newton - $1.1M
RB: Todd Gurley - $5.5M
RB: Ty Montgomery - $890K
WR: Emmanuel Sanders - $4M
WR: Geronimo Allison - $890K
WR: Cody Latimer - $890K
TE: Trey Burton - $910K
OT: Cam Erving - $2.5M
OT: Ty Sambrailo - $1.56M
OG: DJ Fluker - $775K
OG: Stefen Wisniewski - $1.24M
OC: Ted Karras - $3M
DE: Jihad Ward - $890K
DE: Derek Wolfe - $3M
DT: Gerald McCoy - $4.5M
OLB: Aaron Lynch - $850K
OLB: De'Vondre Campbell - $2M
ILB: Kevin Minter - $890K
ILB: Reggie Ragland - $890K
CB: Nickell Robey-Coleman - $1.35M
CB: PJ Williams - $1.05M
FS: HaHa Clinton-Dix - $3.75M
SS: Andrew Sendejo - $2.23M

The names are far, far less interesting - albeit there are a few value players in there for sure.

 

On paper that looks like a really solid group of names. If the NFL wants to add an expansion team you should throw your name out there.
