How do you get a $90M deal but only $89M is guaranteed? Is the last million supposed to be an incentive of some sort?

Watching the McAfee show, I learned that the reported guaranteed money isn't really all guaranteed. Even the guys on the show were confused.

The Bills GM said that, while Josh Allen was reported to sign for 250 million guaranteed, it was actually 140 million guaranteed. The other dollars come in form of injury, etc. So, if Allen gets injured and can't play, then that extra guaranteed money comes into play. Otherwise, if he stays healthy, he will get his base salary/signing bonus etc. as normal.

Idk... it seemed confusing

I think Allen's contract is just rolling guarantees where his next year becomes fully guaranteed a few days after the start of the prior league year. So for example, his 2029 year becomes guaranteed a couple days after the start of the 2028 league year (I didn't look up to verify the years... just an example). Otherwise, there are injury guarantees, but that's only earned if injured. Or in other words, they can cut him and those go away. I think both Daniel Jones and Russell Wilson had similar, and that's why they were cut during the season.

I had both Moore's on my short list but Rondale was always the first guy for me and i think he'll come at a cheaper price then Elijah will.

Free Agency Talk & Rumors - Bears get Dalman 3/$42M, Josh Allen is RICH ($330M contract), DK is a Steeler, Mack back to LAC

Dalman is comfortably a top 10 C. There is a good drop off after the top 3-5 though…but he’s still only 26 and has plenty of time to get even better. The question is do you want to pay a top 10 C top 3ish money? Seeing as how the cap explodes every year and C has been a huge issue, I...

The Bears should kick the tires on Elijah Moore today. He would fill the need for a speedy slot. He’s never played in a situation with a stable QB and he’s only 24 years old.

Your Combine Crush?

We already have Aman Ra in DJ Moore. Going WR at #10 would be stupid. I'd rather draft Jeanty over Burden at #10. Dj will be 28 this season and takes a lot of abuse. I don't think he should continue to do all the end-arounds and over the middle stuff at this stage of his career. Rome is your...

Bears want a receiver to take the top off the defense.

Play action pass attack incoming.

Velus got a new job today. Signed with the Saints. I think they actually listed him as a RB.

That’s actually the position that makes the most sense for him. Sweeps, outside runs, etc. Put his speed to use while minimizing the liability his brick hands pose. Don’t have much faith even that will work out for him though.
