QuoteThe #Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes have agreed to terms on a 10-year extension worth $503 million, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. He gets $477M in guarantee mechanisms and gives the ability for Mahomes to have outs if the guarantee mechanisms aren't exercised. No trade clause

It must make Tom Brady wonder what he has given up over the years to play for the Patriots.

Eye watering figures however in 10/15 years time how will it look?

It is a static figure and not tied to a % of salary cap - the way pro sports is going he will be well down the list by the time his contract comes to an end.

Manny Ramirez had what was deemed a massive contract about 20 years ago worth $20m a year.

Chiefs cap is getting squeezed now

It doesn't matter at he'll sign a new one in 4/5 years anyway.

The numbers are astronomical but this is basically a baseball contract. It'll never be seen through. The "guarantee mechanisms" are supposedly all just player options.

No more Redskins!

Could be no more Dan Snyder by the sounds of things in the media today - a lot of bad stories are about to come out about him that will result in him having to sell the team.

FOOTBALL!

CEH looks like the real deal for KC, as if their offense needed any more dynamic threats. Struggled to punch it in from the 1 yard line a couple of times though. Think he had like 5 goes and couldn't get it done which might hurt him in future.

Predictions for NFL then. Looks a two horse race in AFC between Chiefs and Ravens. I'm gonna go with Ravens. NFC is a minefield. I'll go for the Saints with Brees likely in his last year. Ravens win the lot.

Capt Pat

Cowboys blew a chance to level the game with a field goal in the fourth quarter by going for it on fourth down instead. They went on to lose the game by 3 points.

Not taking the FG isn't what cost them the game. Some awful play calling and a bullshit OPI call on Gallup on the final series did. Ramsey flopped for it like he was in the NBA.
