In today’s age of the NFL, players are always on the market and monitoring what others, who play the same position make. We know Dak Prescott has reportedly asked the Cowboys for 40 Million per year, which would make him the highest paid QB in the league. If Dak wants 40 per year reportedly, what would argueably the best QB in the league Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs ask for?
It’s being reported as we speak, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, he told Get Up this morning,
“The offseason, after this year ends he’s (Mahomes) eligible to sign his first long term deal, for his “first” second contract, and he’s expected to sign in an excess of 200 million dollars; 5 years 40 million dollars per year, I’m just guessing”.
Mahomes who is in the 3rd year of his rookie deal would be eligible to inquire about a new deal after this season ends.
If I had to guess personally, I believe Mahomes would look for a ball park number of about 43 per year, if Dak is asking for 40. Without a doubt, what Mahomes has done in the league since last year he deserves to be the highest paid QB. Yes that includes Mr. Rodgers in Green Bay as well.
You heard it hear first, and this is obvious in my opinion, Mahomes will reshape the guaranteed money realm of what players ask for in negotiations with his next contract.
