If I am calculating this correctly, you are partially correct. They have escalators adding to the guarantee at signing. Here is JJ contract guarantee structure.
https://www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/2329/breaking-down-justin-jeffersons-140m-contract-extension
After March of 2026, JJ is guaranteed the entire 110 million.
Guarantees
The full guarantees at signing within this contract surmise to $88.743M, which includes the near $37M signing bonus, minimum base salaries this and next season, a $30M option bonus for 2025, and nearly $19M of his 2026 compensation.
Furthermore, another $7M of 2026 salary becomes fully guaranteed next March, and an additional $14.25M of 2027 salary fully guarantees in March of 2026. All of this compensation is guaranteed for injury at the time of signing, and because of the year-early vesting nature, is considered practically guaranteed.
This amounts to a practical guarantee of $110M, and a practical contract value of $125.7M over the next 4 seasons.
