SO, if Bates was guaranteed $17 million (essentially one season plus some signing bonus) and it was a FIVE year extension, you can bet it averaged out around $15 million per year.
Your math fails.
Based on this logic if Reader got $20 million guaranteed then he would be getting $80 million over 4 years instead of $53 million.
The fact that Reader got $7 million less total but $5 million more guaranteed shows that you can't predict the total contract value based on years and guaranteed amount.
