You don't think he SHOULD make more than Russ? Mahomes and Burrow aren't worried about what the fucking Cleveland Browns are paying their asshat QB. Do you actually think Russ would do the same? No mention of resetting the market, fully guaranteed, baseball contract...non of that.
Seems like no one read the article.
Yeah, I am SURE Russ would have signed a deal that spreads out the wealth long term and soon makes him middle of the pack to bottom of the salary scale.
I did read your quotes of the article and now have read the article. I think it was written by the Bengals owner.
The Mahomes contract was made in 2020 and was considered a huge contract at the time.
In 2020, Mahomes signed a 10-year contract extension worth $477 million with another $26 million in potential bonuses, for a total of $503 million, making it the third-largest known contract in sporting history.[13][14]
Did KC make a good deal? Damn straight. But looking at it in 2023 like it was an act of benevolence by Mahomes is a hindsight observation.
The writer of the article seems to be doing a lot of looking in Burrows pocket. Burrow would be stupid not to get the money while
the stick is hot. If he signs on to taking Mahomes' 2020 contract in 2023, he's dumber than I thought.
Him singing and incredibly long term deal, so he wasn't going to pull a Rodgers and Wilson and try to reset the QB market every fourth season and spend year three talking about it, is hindsight? Again, not sure you read the article. No one is saying he is under paid. The point is, at some point very soon? he will be, and grossly, and he doesn't care. He signed a long term deal worth a lot of money, no one feels sorry for him, but he also didn't talk about resetting the market, making everything guaranteed, he didn't go on an off season tour flirting with every other team looking for a QB. Nope, he did non of that, and the deal he signed? Makes it pretty impossible for him to EVER do any of that.
Again, point missed.
Burrow would be stupid not to get the money while
the stick is hot. If he signs on to taking Mahomes' 2020 contract in 2023, he's dumber than I thought.
WTF? So, Mahomes didn't sign a team friendly deal, and it's all hindsight, but if Burrow does what Mahomes did he is stupid. WTF are you talking about? No one is saying he sign for 2020 money, just that he sign for the money now, and not try to reset the market every third season. I don't get what you don't get.
