That said, team/cap friendly or highest paid. Either or he will get but what is expected?
He could be both.
Very cap friendly with rolling guarantees contract worth $500M (highest ever) over 10 years.
Mahomes signed a 10 year $450M on his 3rd year. Thus he had 2 years on his rookie deal making it a 12 year deal. The structure of the contract was a tiny $10M signing bonus, which is just $2M per year for 5 years enabling his year 4 and 5 to be immensely cap friendly.
If Joe takes this deal his year 4 could enable us to sign Tee and his year 5 to sign Chase without any problem. With the escalation boom of the salary cap set to begin next season the most expensive years of all 3 players can be somewhat "affordable".
