Onwenu Takes Paycut for 2026

He had no guaranteed money, resigning gave him 10 M guaranteed. That's how I understood it.

Incentives have nothing to do with Guaranteed money. Which is why Wozzy was saying that details still needed to be released.

We paid a guy who plays at a pro-bowl level 14.5 mil a year. Now he gets injured A LOT, but we put in clauses in his contract in case those injuries continue, so if he doesn't play much for the Pats, he will be lucky to see half of that 14.5/year.

Back to your point, Onwenu won't make above 10/year in free agency. And even that may be a generous projection.

You clearly have no clue WTF the going rate is for guards. ZION JOHNSON, who stinks in pass pro and is above average in the run game just got 16.5M AAV. So this idea you're pushing that Onwenu, who is better in pass pro and just as good in the run game, wouldn't get $10M/AAV on the open market is complete and UTTER BS. It shows you're out of touch with reality.
