Well I didn't mean guarantee the whole contract. My understanding was they only offered him 4mil more in guarantees than the tag. So maybe 16mil? But if we are gonna not give up on Bates for at least a few years than why not guarantee the first few years in salary. More like 30 to 40 mil. My point on Waynes is we gave him a 42mil contract and then spent most of that anyway so a large guarantee doesn't really seem to hurt you anymore even in the worst case scenario.
