Trey Hendrickson Update

[*ochocincos*]

It was confirmed on the ESPN broadcast Monday night by I think Laura Rutledge that Hendrickson told her the holdup is purely on guaranteed $$ at this point.

Question for those who might know, if guarantees are made, can they be structured in a way that they could be all for specific years, or are all guarantees required to be spread across the entirety of the contracted years?

I ask because if the worry by Bengals is does he fall off before his extension would end, could they not guarantee this year and next year to the cap amount and then have the final year(s) have no guarantees rather than the guarantees spread across the remaining years?
