Im sure he will be there and to be honest he cant be much worse than he was at times last season and he didnt miss a snap in the offseason and preseason last year.

Less gaurenteed money doesnt mean you're making less money. It just means if you are bad and end up getting cut before you finished your contract the team still owes you the gaurenteed portion of the contract.

The Bengals like to do gaurenteed money through signing workout and roster bonuses.
