I'd find it very hard to believe they're not above $20 Mil guaranteed. They just guaranteed $13 Mil for this year. As I said:

I cannot blame the Bengals; nor could I blame Jessie until now.

Before last week's deadline he had options, now he does not. Well I guess he has 2:

Play and get paid $13 MIL

Sit out and try again next year.

Heaven forbid, but if dude got severely hurt today; he'd get nothing.
