Hell, Milton Williams spends over 50% of defensive snaps on the bench. His best year stats at DT look like the end of the road stats for a guy like Geno Atkins. There's a lot of risk in paying either of those guys high contract with max guarantees. Montaze Sweat has been up and down and battled injuries his career, but at least he averages around 55% of defensive snaps played. Whereas a guy like Trey Hendrickson is averaging about 69% of defensive snaps played since joining the Bengals. Trey is absolutely worth the money and will live up to the guaranteed portion that he's looking for. Those other guys that you presented, I'm not so sure about.
Is it? Here is Crosby who is 28 and just extended. Looks like 60% guarntee for DE 2 years younger. Take a look at the list, it is normal the guarantees are not over 65% and as they age, they get lower and lower percent guaranteed. Take a look for yourself. Watt is a case of cap manipulation. Burns, Bosa and others are less than 55% guaranteed.
