The more Tee himself may think he can't do a full season or get severely injured, he would surely want as much guaranteed money as possible. If a team thinks he is injury prone, guaranteed money is the last thing you would want to give him. Bengals or some other team will have to contend on that.

More guaranteed $$ in the form of bigger signing bonuses which the player gets immediately, but for cap purposes gets spread out over the length of the contract. Thus a lower part of the cap hit is actually salary.

You may ne able to get away with fewer years if you do it this way. Or with performance/PT incentives late on in the deal.
