The guaranteed money is almost double. That’s a big difference. I’m not actually reading it wrong when you consider that because the key for any of the 3 players is to prevent teams from getting out if their contracts due to injury. The Seahawks can’t do it because if the guarantee. The Texans could do it but Stingleys salary was already high in that first year. So the conclusion I draw is that if they don’t do a Stingley type deal, the Patriots would have to come CB up with a lot of guaranteed money

You are hung on the guaranteed money of the Stingley deal when that was an afterthought of Berdard's point which was if Gonzalez is looking for the Patriots to rip up the fourth and fifth years of his deal like Stingley the Patriots would not do that. That was his main point, not the amount of the guaranteed money on the Stingley deal. If you accurately portrayed what he said, why would he would now think after the Witherspoon deal that a Gonazlez deal will be done in the next couple of weeks. By the way the guaranteed money will not be close to double what Stingley received. Stingley received a signing bonus of 25 million, 89 million was guaranteed with 48 million guaranteed at signing. Witherspoon signing bonus of 26 million, 101 million was guaranteed with 59 million guaranteed at signing. Gonzalez will be higher than Witherspoon but in no way will the guaranteed money be almost double Stingley's.
