I am not aware of any NFL players having opt-out provisions in their contract.
Teams can release players before a contract expires, and take a dead-cap-hit. If the cap-hit isn't too onerous, some sources will refer to it as a "potential out" for the team but really it's just a release by the team.
Looking at the two best cap sites, should Kansas City release Mahomes after 2027, the Chiefs would take a $24.5M dead-cap-hit, and create about $17.5 of cap space. His 2028 cap hit is the total of those two #'s.
He doesn't have one but they can happen in the NFL. Much more common in baseball.
Mahomes opt-out, LOL.
This aint Baseball or Basketball.
Consider the source, same guy who didn't know why in the world we had an Atlanta Falcons thread.

Here's a map out of teams we want to root for for rest of season other than everyone Falcons play in order for us to get to #1. Not impossible... lol. This is going to be a fun last 7 weeks.

What!? Pick 28-30? Oh ye of little faith. We'll have pick 32 in April, 2026. You heard it here...
Excuse my friends lack of tolerance here, but no he cant "opt out" of his contract
In these big contracts where a players annual cap hit is more than the dead cap left on his contract, it is perceived that there is a potential Team "out" from the contract
Mahomes aint going anywhere
Of course this is not going to happen. But could you imagine it. I might have to spend a week on the Shitter board with @Loyal.
Likely not but it's going to be like playing the lottery, it'll be fun to fantasize about until that moment the numbers are actually called. Plus, it makes me actually interested in some of these games between shitty teams I would never watch otherwise lol.

The trick is to sign up now on the 49er's board a few weeks before any game and don't get banned before the probation period ends, you rabble rouser!

Well IF it does happen, then I think a trip to the draft may be in order.
No I have to say Mendoza is a better prospect than Goff. He's bigger framed, reads exceptionally well, and moves and runs better than Goff with better decision making on when to run.
Mendoza is a slam dunk prospect. Goff was a bit below that. And nothing against Goff, he has worked hard to develop into one of the better QBs in the NFL. But just from the prospect side of things it's Mendoza all day long and twice on Sunday.
Honestly, Ty Simpson reminds me of a better Goff. His arm isn't huge, but it's good enough, and his accuracy, anticipation, and pocket presence is elite. But Mendoza, physically, is a tier above, and I think he's whom McVay would salivate over.
If the Falcons get a high enough pick I could see us spending both theirs and our first this year for Tennessee's pick (I think they're the team that's going to get the #1 pick) to get Mendoza. At least, that's my hope.

You really do crack me up. Like the chiefs aren't gona extend him before he becomes available.
I think Mendoza has a stronger arm and is more athletic
Goff was a terrific college QB though so its splitting hairs to say who was a better prospect. I mean, Goff did go #1 overall

Anything can happen right?
I didn't think the Rams would ever trade the #1 overall pick for a perennial loser Stafford. Though it did turn out to be one of the best trades in Ram history...... thank god.

I would not be surprised if Mendoza is more athletic than Goff too, he hasn't seemed to show it much but it does look like he can run a little when needed (more Mayfield than say Lamar!)
