With Patrick Mahomes getting his record setting deal, every sports source I turn to is talking about the deal and who would deserve it in each sport.
Figure this is a catch all thread for people to argue for or against someone getting a ten year deal, hypothetically.
Football, I can’t think of many more than Mahomes or Jackson at this point. If I had to pick one, Mahomes has had one more season and a Super Bowl, I guess.
Basketball is tricky. While Zion and Doncic look to be special talents, I worry about what they will look like in ten years. There is a high chance this post looks foolish down the line but Zion has only played 13 games. We have to see how his body holds up that he doesn’t become another case like Greg Oden who had ability but could not stay on the floor. Doncic is not super athletic already and while he is going to be very good for years and will only be 30 in ten years, guys with his build don’t always hold up that long. I honestly would probably lean more toward Giannis, who despite being around since 2013, I could see being Lebron-like in still being a threat in Year 17.
Baseball has Trout already in the obvious contract and tends to get plenty of guys who don’t deserve it get these contacts.
Whatever sport you want to discuss, who would you get behind or avoid getting on of these giant contracts.
