Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Per Schefter, the deal includes $24 million in guaranteed money, and close to $29 million in the first three years of the contract. As PFT points out, the contract essentially matches Larry Fitzgerald's last contract, although not in guaranteed money. Still, it arguably makes Marshall the highest-paid receiver in league history.
