[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 490662"] There is a reason every cent isn't guaranteed. If there was no reason it would have been. They won't be cutting him in the next 2 years anyway; there would be way too much dead cap money. After that, it will be year-to-year. If his performance declines, he gets injured, or the team stops winning...there will be issues by year 3. He'll be 38 by then either way. If they have a bad year and get a high pick...the QB of the future will be drafted...and the beat goes on. Or just look to the headlines...Nnamdi's 2 years into his 5 year / $60 mil deal, $25 mil guaranteed. All but $4 mil of the guarantee has been paid out. There's no dead cap hangover beyond the $4 mil still due. He's being renegotiated down...or he'll be sent packing. Even the elite of the elite don't get guaranteed more than what teams would pay for the next 2 years of elite performance. And if those 2 years are not elite, and the dead cap hangover is not prohibitive, hard choices might be made, and often are. Inglorious ends to stellar careers seem to be the rule rather than the exception. [/QUOTE]
