I had always thought the guaranteed money wasn't all paid upfront since it's spread across the contract typically.

Yea, in most cases year 1 is lowest because the signing bonus gets paid year 1 and prorated out so they lower salary year one to smooth out actual cash to player. My guess is all these deals next year is lower than the the AVG per.
