When discussing player's contracts we should view them only as they really are: how much is guaranteed?
So Doubs signed a two year $35 million.
Diggs signed one year around $20 million with incentives.
The non guaranteed money actually can work against the player because it gives the team an option if you outplay the contract like Gronk and Gilmore. But the team can cut bait without penalty after it cleans up all the forward accounting it's done, which many on this board claim is crap.
The Christian Watson contract seems like the poster child for this. But an NFL contract an only be interpreted based on guarantees.
