Chase Young had a neck procedure on 3/21 & will be ready for season; Played through neck stinger all 2023; Saints are comfortable with it

Michael Thomas had a similar "guarantee" on his contract that he didn't collect. He had a $220k per game roster bonus that did not pay out in full (he got $2.2m for ten games instead of the originally reported $3.74m total).
Yeah, that is why the $7.99 million is not guaranteed. Guess the agent was touting his own work. Given the procedure, he may not even get the workout bonus. So, would assume the base of $2.7 million (and obviously the signing bonus of $1.86 million) mean the only guaranteed portion is about $4.56 million.
