I already told you - he could have demonstrated at some point in his entire career of organized football that he could stay healthy two years in a row. He's NEVER played a full, productive season two years in a row. EVER. And by tagging him and keeping him, they're counting on him to do EXACTLY THAT. They're asking him to do something he's never done. Seems reasonable. SMH

He played the best year of his life and one of the best in the entire NFL and they didn't win the Super Bowl WITH him. So what does that say?
It's all about probability.
If they tag him and keep him, they have no money. They're going to be relying on the draft mostly to upgrade the secondary. There's two probable outcomes there - he gets hurt and the season goes up in flames because he was their big spend or he balls out like he did last year and they still lose because the secondary isn't good enough. Either way, 2019 is yet another lost season and the window on Mahomes' rookie contract is nearly closed with nothing to show for it.
