Russell Wilson...$124M fully guaranteed at signing (signing bonus + 2022 salary/roster bonus + 2023 salary/option bonus + 2024 salary/option bonus) $37M 2025 salary fully guarantees the 5th league day of 2024. $4M of 2026 salary guaranteed for injury only. 2023 Option Bonus: $20M (guaranteed, must be exercised 3/15/23 - 3/19/23).

So like the previous article, one could argue that the last 20M is essentially guaranteed because it is in year 2 that would catastrophic to the cap if they cut him. The argument that the journalists are making is that things like that, which would be cap poison, are essentially guaranteed unless the team was really willing to implode for a year or two in dead cap.
