I raised Mahomes as an example of someone who took a team-friendly deal because he makes an average of $45 million per year (10 years at $450 million). For the seven years that Burrow is under contract, he makes $316 million, which comes to $45.1 million a year. To me, that is a team-friendly deal. What would not have been team friendly is to average $55 million for 7 years.
What's Mahomes' annual average if you combine the last year of his rookie deal, his 5th year option, and his 10 year extension? Does that reduce his average even further?
