Patrick Mahomes a 10 year $503 million dollar extension to his contract..... insanity ?

If there is no football it won't mean squat.

And how do the chiefs get a good OL around him now and in the future to protect their star on the cheap ?

By drafting well. And also, Mahomes will be paid less than a lot of QBs for 2 more years. It's not as insanely high pay as most think. Sure, the total deal looks like a monster deal until you really look at it.

When you have a great QB, who commands a great salary, you have to draft well and be masterful at picking up free agents that fit your scheme at a decent price. (It can be argued that the Patriots have been successful more because of the latter than the former.)

Or else, the Chiefs with Mahomes will eventually become the Packers with Rodgers... a good team, but not a serious Super Bowl contender for a lot of later career.

What's even crazier is if the owner can sign his name on that pay check, what must he be making?

Enjoy that $25 parking, $12 hot dog, $16 beer and $150 seat the next time you root on your heroes.

It is what it is. Dogs and beer don't sell that high. Last year parking in Cleveland was $50 in many of the closer lots. You could still find $20 lots in the flats. It is a lot longer walk, but you can buy a $5 day pass and take the train from there and drop off in front of the stadium. Starting around 11am one passes about every 15 minutes. Before that, every 30 minutes. My seats are more like $175 each.
