What we do know is he guaranteed himself $28M instead of $14.5M. He did exactly what you're advocating, took the guarantees and term, no?
He did eventually, yes, but not with Pittsburgh. You're right, we don't know exactly what Pittsburgh was offering him, but ones has to assume that since he was in the prime of his career, it was more than what he got from the Jets. Again, just an assumption but based on his production at the time they were putting the franchise tag on him, it had to be more.
I guess there was some sort of Injury Guarantee of $8M starting in '21, which is now gone as well. Not sure if that played into his actual guaranteed money or not.
