After March of 2026. That means there's a full 2 seasons where it's NOT guaranteed.

If it takes 2 seasons to become guaranteed, it's not actually guaranteed. If Jefferson got hit by a car in 2024, it wasn't guaranteed. If he got hit by a car in 2025, it's not guaranteed. If he gets hit in a car between the end of the 2025 season and March 2026, it's not guaranteed.

If I "guarantee" you $1m, but have 2 years to decide if I actually want to pay you it, is it still guaranteed? No.

This is the same problem Chase was having with the contract that the Bengals tried to offer him before the 2024 season. The Bengals wanted some of his "guarantees" to not actually kick in until 2027. Which means they're not actually guaranteed, so he didn't want that.
