If that was the rule, Dak would have exceeded Mahomes in guarantees and average salary, because it was his turn. He didn't.

Dak Prescott's contract makes Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' deal look like a bargain

Which deal would you rather have as a player?

Prescott is reportedly set to make anywhere from $140-160 million total over the course of four years. He has a record-breaking $126 million in guaranteed money attached to his deal, with a $66 million signing bonus upfront. Mahomes’ contract, on the other hand, contained $141 million in total guaranteed money, but only $73 million in upfront guarantees. The big difference here is in the years.

All-in-all, Prescott will make nearly $30 million more than Mahomes over the course of the next four seasons. Then he’ll become a free agent and pursuing a new contract at just 31 years old. That new contract, if things go right for Prescott, would presumably be larger than the last.

At that time, Mahomes will still have seven years left on his contract with the Chiefs. The salary cap will also be much higher than it currently is right now. Consider the other quarterback contracts handed out between now and then, and Mahomes’ monster deal could very well look like a steal.

Mahomes' contract is a major outlier here, and even as ridiculous as the numbers are, here is a good comparison between Mahomes' and Dak's contract:

The value of Mahomes' contract, on a per year basis, will eventually be surpassed by Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and/or Kyler Murray. Also, in the same length of Mahomes' contract, these young QBs will likely get a second FA contract giving them more guaranteed money than Mahomes.

I used to fish a ton, not a hunter but would .....

We are 1 starter level LT to having a good starter and depth OL. I like Lucas in the backup swing tackle role a la Nsechke.

FA, Lucas, Charles, Sharpe
Schweitzer, Martin/Charles
Roullier, Ismael
Scherff, Martin/Charles
Moses, Lucas, Charles

This also means we have room to draft an IOL in the 3rd to 6th round.

Ron Rivera on free agency - "We have a couple of guys we'd love to be able to get, immediately"

(Editor note - big swings coming)

---------------------------

For other key Washington free agents: as of Sunday, there was nothing going on with Ryan Kerrigan, per source; the team is still trying to get deals done with Ronald Darby and Dustin Hopkins; Ryan Anderson is ready to move on, get back to playing as a 3-4 outside linebacker. They'll also continue to work on a long-term deal with guard Brandon Scherff.

Dak got the better deal, simple as that.

Andrew Brandt was blasting Mahomes' contract when it happened.

But then again, maybe Mahomes wants to be the next Tom Brady and is willing to play at below market value if it means more SB wins.

Mahomes has a real interesting contract with how the massive roster bonuses are locked in. By 2025, the chiefs could cut before his 2026 roster bonus kicks in Mahomes and not owe him anything?

[Chief X_Phackter]

Definitely a great deal. He was smart in doing what he did, and his agent deserves all the credit in the world.

Hopefully it hinders their ability to improve the rest of the team.

Terrible signing by the Cowboys. Prescott is not worth that kind of cash.

I agree but I can see why they did it too... It's the hardest position in the league to find, and he's a top 10-12 QB. Hard to let him walk

Dallas cap next year is looking very tight, and that was before they just restructured 3 contracts to save a further $17m this year

QB's get paid (overpaid). We've seen what happens when you have a good one that you don't take care of.
