The parts due this year are getting paid out, so they're the only part that isn't escrowed since you're not going to escrow something like a $40m signing bonus just to then un-escrow it 6 days later to pay it out or immediately un-escrow a roster bonus that is normally paid out March or June 1st.

Ok, i was looking at it wrong. I was thinking the guarantee is part of the salary that is figured year by year. 

So it's the full amount, beyond the first year (signing bonus + salary) that has to be put aside. 

Burrow:
Total guaranteed $219M
2023 salary $1M + $40M signing bonus = $41M
Escrow $178M
**it's at this point i'm starting to get a real headache**

Orlando Brown:
Total guaranteed $31.1M
2023 salary $1.5M + $31.1M signing bonus
Escrow 0

Trey is similar to OBj. $8M guarantee, $8M signing bonus.
Escrow 0

If Chase gets something similar to Jefferson it should look something like this: (these are jefferson's numbers. Chase will be higher but structure about the same)
Total guaranteed $110M
2025 salary $1.5M + $37M signing bonus = $47.5M
Escrow $62.5M

Total for those 4 players, approx $241M
