So why not sign him earlier and save the team lots of money? You’re really going to try and nickel and dime the franchise QB?

They slow played Allen and it backfired big time. Now you want them to do it again with Trevor?

That's exactly what I was suggesting... ?

You’re offering him top 10-15 money. Which is ludicrous. 

Him and his agent would laugh you out the building and then that would stunt the next negotiation. Brilliant move! Let’s have back to back years where our best players don’t want to negotiate.

Even if he signs a team friendly deal, which he won’t, the moment he plays like a top 5 quarterback he’s going to restructure that contract and become the highest paid qb in the league.

Mahomes signed a 10 year deal in 2020 after winning the Super Bowl. He’s restructured twice since then and the plan is to revisit and restructure again by 2026 at the latest.

That’s how things work. There’s absolutely no need to sign him to anything sooner. You play him at his 11m per year next year and use that savings now to beef up the team around him. If he plays great - then yes you can give him an extension one year from now.

We still have the 5th year option and we also can still franchise him if we absolutely have to. But it won’t come to that.

You realize that if they sign him to an extension, they can still have him play the season at 11m right? It’s not like his cap hit would be 45 million.
