It will be closer to 55% to 60%, with all guarantees mostly done after 3 years. 60% of 120 million is 72 million, so in essence the 120 million contract has a guarantee of 72 million over 3 years or 24 million oer year on average, less in year 1 and more in years, 2 and 3.
Thus how I estimate cap each year for players with huge contracts.
Yeah, I get what you are saying, but it's not all that accurate.
Tee will end up around 4 years $120 million. Not all guarantees are up front, just generally the signing bonus. They can guarantee salary for 2 years or do something along the lines of that.
