Apparently they also won’t be allowed to build a new stadium in DC until they change the name.
Surely this is too much pressure now, of the financial variety too which will be more likely to lead to something.
At long bloody last. No idea why they put in that bit about the military though.
There’s some popular movement behind the Washington Warriors, with a spear as the symbol.
That would be false advertising.
Wtf is Rivera on putting the military into his statement?
Btw, feck that organization and Lil Danny Snyder can suck a fat one. Dude has been telling anyone the past few years how one poll had 90% of Native Americans claiming the nickname wasn't racist. He's a dickhead. An aging, white asshole who gave $1.1M to Trump's inauguration and supported fecking Jeb Bush prior to that. Probably jerks off to images of his idol, Jerry Jones, holding three Lombardi trophies.

it's hard to tell sometimes!‘How to unnecessarily feck up a press release 101’.
Two other popular names are The Sentinels, from the Keanu Reeves movie. And The Redtails, in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen. Personally I’m in favor of The Pigskins, in honor of their fans.
I never understood why they named themselves after a kind of peanut.
Pioneers - in honor of the founding fathers per say
Marauders - it's what politics does to the average Jane and Joe
Senators - homage to the old baseball club and the political capitol
Washington Redhawks
Some of these names
Yeah I think it’s a good move. Will be interesting to see how our offence moves with this, in some ways we were already power run heavy so it’s probably not as big a change as one might think, except building in Cam runs to go with it.

Seems a good deal from the Chiefs point of view. But is it a good deal from Mahomes point of view financially?
I don’t think it is good for the chiefs. So much can change in 10 years. Look at Blesdoe. Signs a 10 year contract with the Pats. 6 months later some late round pick called Tom Brady replaced him anyway
That's impossible to say for both parties, we don't have the contract details yet.
Isn't there some limit on how long contracts are allowed to be?
Financially speaking it’s good for them, if anything goes to plan and he goes on to be one of the GOATs, cause even in 5 years he can’t ask for an exponential increase in salary. He has to go by the contract.
It’s like Daniel Radcliffe from Harry Lotter signing a contract with salary fixed before movie 1 when there are 7-8 movies to shoot and each movie is going to be bigger than the last one. It makes more sense from the studios POV but not much from the actor.
10 years
Holy shit
hot takeHOLY feck I TAKE IT BACK. Thats a minimum of $40m a year.
Won't be that much in five years.
There must a significant amount guaranteed. Depending on that amount it could be still be a big number in 5 years.
Dak is gonna get PAIDDDDDDD. Jerry is so stupid it’s incredible to watch in real time.
I think your allowed to have a contract as long as your career, unlike baseball or basketball where they can pay you after you retire to save on cap space
That’s what I’m thinking. I expected him to hit the $40m/year mark but sign for 4-5 years. This is a serious commitment from both sides.
There is a difference. One actually deserves it and the other doesn’t even come close to deserving a big pay day.
It’s too late now. They have to pay Dak whatever he wants.
Hope Mahomes was smart enough to include some opt-outs after a few years or so, otherwise this deal might not look so smart in a couple of years.
Chiefs have the better bet here to have concluded a good deal. Winning with good QBs on rookie contracts is the easier way to go but Mahomes on $40m MIGHT look like daylight robbery in a few years time.

I'm gonna piss if the cap drops next year.
Seems like a bit of a gamble working out a ten year contract in the mist of a pandemic and economic collapse, but what do I know. Could work out in either’s favor, but I’d guess the Chiefs’ if recent salary trajectories hold.
This puts it just ahead of Mike Trout for the largest contract in American sports, but Trout’s is guaranteed. That’s something that still surprises me; those MLB contracts for a sport in decline...

Even with the pandemic it won’t. They better hope it doesn’t go up too much in the coming years cause that means they have to pay him more.
Is it confirmed to be tied to the cap?
I was more thinking it'll be hilarious if they're committed to his salary from a lower cap but I agree they'll not let it drop.
