Crazy

MLB type contracts coming to the NFL is a somewhat worrisome thing. Joey Votto and Albert Pujols contracts are crippling for ball clubs. Don't necessarily want that in the NFL. Good for Mahomes though. Hope he doesn't get hurt.

They will have to figure that out. A great QB can cover a lot of flaws. Some teams may decide a money ball approach is better. Some may want big names and big salaries. The market will bear it until there seems to be a drop off in wins. Once that happens it will adjust.

Kansas City still has some $$$ left over - they just reached a new 4 year deal with DT Chris Jones. This contract's average annual value is slightly less than Buckner's.

The #Chiefs and star DT Chris Jones have reached an agreement on a 4-year extension worth $85M, per the Katz Bros. $60M total guarantee upon signing. A long time coming, but Jones gets his deal, and KC locks in a big one.

More contract details for Chris Jones:

$37 million is due at signing.

$60 million is guaranteed for injury.

It's a four-year, $80 million deal with $5 million in incentives, making value of contract up to $85 million.

It is, though Buckners is 15 million less guaranteed and we have him for 1 year longer.

And gave up a high pick.

Right, but that is irrelevant to the contract.
