It is my understanding am extension for Chase takes int consideration the contract of 21+ million already baked in. All would be guaranteed. Then the actual extension alters the cap and guaranteed portion. But again, maybe I am wrong.
I need to check out how they calculated Burrows extension for cap and guarantees.
Yeah, you need to make sure it includes the words "guaranteed at signing" rather than just the word "guaranteed", because if it's a "guarantee" that you have to earn 3-4 years down the road, that's not actually a guarantee at all.
Dak Prescott's recent contract is actually a huge example of that. He got 4yr/$240m and $231m of it is "guaranteed" which could be reported as "the highest guarantee in NFL history" (more than Watson's $230m and Burrow's $219m).... but the amount guaranteed AT SIGNING is actually $129m, which is 6th in the NFL and well behind Burrow's $146.5m, and WAY behind Watson's $230m (which again is why that contract was so absurd).
