I agree though Ja'Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson are likely going to dominate the guaranteed money this off-season which hurts the team in free agency. (Not to mention coaches who will get guaranteed money). 

The part that matters for our FO is that it's more money they would have to pay in advance as a lump sum in March '25 or something rather than 18 installments weekly from Sept-Jan '25-'26. Which is why signing bonuses and guaranteed money is always a problem with this FO.
