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. 

Yeah, which means money that may or may not become realized on the field. You back up the Brinks truck and the guy limps off week 2. Bengals and other teams, regardless of how allocated for the cap, will have to consider that a bit more with Tee. Some say it was even a sticking point on the Chase contract ( I have no info if that was true or not ). When talking about accelerating over the years, team friendly, ability to cut and not pay as much, heavy on incentives, if I am Tee, I don't want any of that. As a Bengals fan, I want exactly that. 

Saw on the internet years ago "Fully guaranteed = Fooly Guaranteed" I'm not saying that's gospel, but I know where the sentiment comes from.
