Even if they offered him 24M, if the guaranteed money was $65M, that’s STILL a lowball.
How bout $20M per year with $80M g-money ???
That's an interesting question. At what point does the guaranteed money lower the desire for annual salary.
If he got 5 years at $20M with $90M guaranteed, that would be a pretty sweet deal.
Would a lowball offer be made up for by adding a bit to the guaranteed money?
VM in 2016 had 70 M guaranteed. What should that be 3 years later? I would figure at least 80 M.
VM got 19 M in 2016. What should that be 3 years later? That's in 23/24 M territory.
On a 6 year deal that would be 18-24 M more than he would get at 20 M a year.
Would I trade a 10 M increase in guaranteed money and give up 18-24 M in overall value?
Can you name another situation where a player traded what he was worth in terms of the annual average for a small increase in the guarantee?
$90M guaranteed is not a small increase. Actually, I bet there is no way he gets close to that number.
When you hear players talk they always ask "whats the guarantee number"
That number is more important that the annual number, especially for non-QBs.
