A couple problems with this. First, we were discussing total contract value, not just bonuses. Eli is not #2 by a long shot. Then, as far as "guaranteed", that $20 million "bonus" is not. It is actually 5 bonuses, some paid down the road for making the roster.

I would have just passed on this, but my post was an attempt to show how ridiculous the Postons' demands are, and couldn't just watch an attempt to rationalize their foolishness. I hope they stand their ground, and Cleveland stands theirs. Would love to see him home for the start of the season!! He could have been on the field now with a team that would have featured him in their offense, instead of getting drafted by a team with an offense in disarray. The Skins F/O has to be rolling on the floor over this one.
