Yup, guaranteed at signing is the only one that really matters because it's the only one that's ACTUALLY guaranteed. If it takes multiple years for it to vest, it's not really guaranteed afterall.

Plus when does the signing bonus get paid out? Bengals try to do some games where they pay it out as late as possible so they can make more money on the interest/investments versus the playing being able to make more money on the interest/investments. Most players want a signing bonus paid out in whole when they sign, as per the name.
