You can go back to almost every guy we couldn't come to a deal with and in most cases it was how we do structuring of the deals with guarantees. It's a double edged sword, the players want it but at the other side we are one of the best teams in the league in terms of dead cap space. We simply don't get stuck in contracts we can't get out of.

Yep. 

The Bengals will have to evolve though, especially with their really good players. Any really good player is going to want guaranteed money and they can get it on some other team in the league if not the Bengals. 

You can skate around it with guys like Pratt, Wilson, etc. 

But guys like Burrow, Chase, Higgins...forget about it.
