No they aren't. The revenue sharing between teams and players is pretty similar. The difference is that NFL teams have to pay dozens of players. You're splitting revenue between like 1,700 players versus 400 something.
And sure some team would way overpay for Mahomes if he were an FA but the rest of their roster would suffer as a result and others players would get even less.
Cheeses could you imagine Mahomes being out there in the open market after his rookie contract going to the highest bidder!!!!
