Patriots reportedly modify Lawrence Guy’s contract to increase his guarantees

The New England Patriots have reportedly made some modifications to defensive lineman Lawrence Guy’s contract. According to salary cap expert Miguel Benzan, the team has recently decided to guarantee $1 million of Guy’s salary for the 2022 season.

Under the contract he signed with the Patriots last March, Guy is set to play on a $2 million base salary this season. Previously, none of it was guaranteed, but the team apparently decided to make a change.

Increasing the guarantees has no impact on Guy’s $4.5 million salary cap number, but it does lessen the potential cap savings in case he is released.
