I thought Dashaun Watson was a wild outlier, but it was just the start of a trend.  Can't believe how the Chiefs, with perhaps the best QB in the game, have Mahomes on what is now a team-friendly deal for the next ten years.

It still is. The Hurts contract is $110m fully guaranteed at signing, less than half of Watson's $230m.

Smart of Philly to go first, before Joe Burrow gets his deal in Cincinnati or Justin Herbert gets his deal in LA. But this ($51 million APY) would seem to set the floor for those guys. https://t.co/f5UDexpLpg

Exactly why the Bengals needed to get Burrow's deal done first. Numbers only going up. Does reinforce the belief that fully guaranteed at signing isn't happening, at least.
