The issue is Lamar gives unforced errors when it counts. Yes mahomes had issues with the talent around him. But he did drag a pretty talent bare team to the sb. Put mahomes on the ravens last yr and he wins the title and loses 2 games at most.
He could have taken a pay cut any time over the last 3 yrs. He never did. I can see his ego tell him that he like mahomes can have 15% of the cap and win a ring. He is not Pat. He will want his bag again. Really Eric is the joker.
Depends. I would expect a jump over the dak or Allen deals. But again if he sits tight he will get paid more than that over the next 2 yrs and then can do a whole new deal at that times going rate. If I were his agent I would say sit tight. It’s not like the last deal was smooth sailing.
Why? In 26 we have 45 mil in space but only 27 players under contract. We are tight on the cap next yr. Unless Lamar redoes his deal I see cuts coming bc we can’t afford them.
This is why I wanted to draft a center. He will want top 3 center money and he isn’t as good as them, some sucker team will do it though so I think this is his last yr. I expect Hamilton to be signed to a long term deal before the season starts.
