However, it is hardly different than other contracts that we have successfully done recently. [feel free to correct me if any of the numbers that I present are wrong]All that was guaranteed in Jaire's contract was the $30M signing bonus - which was substantially less than Jalen Ramsey ($44M) and Cam Ward ($45M) were guaranteed at the same time. Nobody has complained about making Kenny one of the highest paid DL in 2020 - including a $25M guaranteed signing bonus. Most of the Aaron Rodgers guaranteed contracts worked out for us too.The big issue in my mind is how we kept back-loading contracts to work around Rodgers. We never had enough cap space so we kicked the can down the road.There is a good article about Jaire's signing here:  <a href="https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2022/05/19/packers-jaire-alexander-contract-extension-includes-cap-friendly-2022/9836127002/" target="_blank">https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2022/05/19/packers-jaire-alexander-contract-extension-includes-cap-friendly-2022/9836127002/</a></blockquote>
