Apparently only the first 2 years of the deal were full guaranteed and $44m of it was in the final year.

If you have a contract that is 6yr/$139m and pays $95m over the first 5 years, you have at best 5yr/$95m contract or even a 4yr/$65m contract. If there's only guaranteed money for the first 2 years, you have maybe a 2yr/$40m or 2yr/$50m deal instead when you figure in the signing bonus. There's zero chance he would ever see the final 1yr/$44m even if he did play for them for 5 years at under $20m/yr, so it's just fluff to make the team look like they offered a better deal than they did.
