The real question, even beyond Mahomes' contract, is whether the economy is going to hyperinflate or crash and burn over the next 5-10 years. There are people predicting both. With hyperinflation, a 10-year deal is going to look very week on the back end. If the dollar crashes, a deal with current salary levels may become golden.
It's a roll of the dice either way at this point. In addition, I would have to know the guaranteed money involved, not the one the agent will preen himself with.
Personally, I'd suggest a 4-yr deal and, beyond that, insist the player have a clause added that voids the deal at the player's option. In other words, agree to a 10-year-deal but DW has the right to opt out after four and renegotiate. That might be the best of both worlds.
