Pretty positive that giving a player a part of the team is still considered player compensation and that falls under the salary cap limits. Otherwise there'd be owners everywhere giving small pieces of businesses to players to avoid paying them under the salary cap. 5% of the Bengals would be worth ~$150m.

Also, Mahomes doesn't own any part of the Chiefs. He bought part of KC's baseball, soccer, and women's soccer teams. Brady was the one rumored to be getting some stake in the Dolphins in that whole tampering investigation. That's why it was extra noteworthy.

To be fair Super Bowls are more outliers. I would quess teams with a high paid quarterbacks have more winning seasons than a team with low paid QBs. Because a good QB keeps the winning window open. (Superbowl windows are not a thing it takes more than a winning program to make it to a superbowl.)

Look at all the years Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning took their teams to the playoffs. Yes only 4 super bowl wins between those 3 but they were always in the playoffs and competing.
