More guaranteed money has been getting paid out lately, especially to players that teams think are important enough to lock up long term. My guess is if they did something like this, all the guarantees will be paid by Year 4. To your last point, 33 is not terribly old for a OL, especially not one that plays at as high of a level as Nelson.
He’s gonna shatter any guard contract ever, he’ll get something close to Trent Williams money
