If Mahomes wants to win big over a long time, he will do a pretty good size discount for the Chiefs.
But it would be hard to blame him for looking around the league at guys like Mayfield, Trubisky, Wentz, and Goff...all of them got a lot more money than him on that first contract because of their spot in the draft. If he demands top dollar on the next contract, you really can't blame him. Mayfield's signing bonus alone was $6m higher than what Mahomes will be paid for his entire 4-year contract.
