No details but if 70% of it is guaranteed at signing and it's only a 5 year deal, it can't be SUPER team friendly; there's just not that much room for wiggle.

The question comes down to what type of guarantees. Sometimes mere injury guarantees get reported at the beginning when in actuality an injury that simply makes the guy less productive wouldn't be enough to trigger them. It may be that year 4 is guaranteed for injury and year 5 has no guarantees and both years have substantial base salaries.

In which case it COULD be pretty team friendly. But as presently reported, there's just not many ways to make that a very team friendly deal. In fact, it could be a cap nightmare as early as year 3 if you presume they have a relatively low year 1 hit as most do.
