I really think Veach is trying to give Jones everything he can to the limit of coming across as overpaying. He offers top DT market money at $24.66M and to try to get it done offers to make most of it guaranteed for him which other DT contracts don’t have.

It’s not totally comparable to the Q Williams contract in terms of guaranteed money. That contract included a big bump in year 1 vs what he would’ve gotten otherwise and then has 3 additional years plus an option for another year on top of that. CJ is essentially being offered to bump up this year by 5mm when 20mm has already been guaranteed and then an additional 2 guaranteed years on top of that.
