If the cap goes to $220 million, Mahomes gets $44 million and the Chiefs have $176 million to play with. I don’t really see a terrible effect for the Chiefs there.
    And in 10 years if the cap goes up to like 400 million, then KC will have 40 million less to spend on other players that year.

    If the cap gets to $400 million and you can’t field a competitive team with $340 million, the problem isn’t that contract, it’s your talent evaluators.

    My only point is that it's objectively worse for their cap to tie his deal to the cap than to make it a flat rate.

    I don’t think it is. These cap guys manipulate $5 million like it’s nothing. I just don’t see Mahomes contract going up $4 million if the cap goes up $20 million all that big of a deal for the numbers guys.

    And when they have to move 20 or 40 million around further down the line? That seems a little tougher. Could make the difference in being able to keep or get rid of one vital player.

    I remember when Flacco got paid when he got all the credit for the Ravens winning the SB. It forced them to cut some of their top players to make the cap numbers work, until the next TV deal was signed which raised the cap which provided the Ravens with enough relief so they could bounce back to division contenders. By the time Flacco got cut, a 2nd TV deal had been signed which turned what was an outrageously high salary when it was signed became average. So yes, this can hurt the Chiefs by forcing cut good players over the next few seasons, until the next TV deal comes about and provides some relief for them. So how long this will hurt them is directly dependant on how long it will be until the next TV deal is due to be worked out, whenever that will be.

    But again, as we've been discussing, his deal will go up when the cap goes up, assuming Schefter's reporting is correct.

    When people started writing about his GF, I got board & stopped reading.

    Well to sum it up, Schefter reported that his contract will likely, in part at least, be tied to a percentage of the cap. So if the cap shoots up after the next TV deal, so does his contract.

    I love Wave's optimism. But we need a Tonya Harding plan.

    So he's acknowledging that he doesn't actually know for sure.

    Well the deal was just signed, so it usually takes a while for the details to fully emerge, but Schefter is about as accurate as they come. If he's putting that out there, he probably has it from a reliable source. I think he just has to use words like "likely" to cover himself before things become official.

    What I imagine it will wind up being is something like 40 million base + x% of the cap additionally instead of the full number being tied to the cap. Fully tying it to the cap would just seem bonkers. If it's something like 40 mil + 5% of the cap, that would put him at 60 mil if the cap doubles instead of 80.
