So if this thing is actually a 4 year, $26 million extension with $10 million in bonus and years 1 and 2 guaranteed with year 3 partially guaranteed to reach $20 million in guaranteed 'new' money, then you end up with an ascending guard at slightly below market for good interior lineman.
Let. The. Structure. Come. Out.
We have to re-teach this lesson every year.

Yeah, if LDT continues his upward trend its entirely possible that he winds up as a Pro Bowl guard who is making the same % of the cap as each year progresses.
