There are three types of guaranteed money that teams can use when constructing a contract. The best-known form of guaranteed money is guaranteed for injury. Injury guarantees come into effect if a player is released but is unable to partake in football activities or pass a physical.

If a player is released and this condition is met, the player is entitled to money that is protected against injury. If a player has guaranteed money for injury and they are healthy, then the money guaranteed for injury is lost when the player is cut.

Outside of guaranteed for injury, there are two other types of guarantees. These two types are skill guarantees and cap guarantees. A skill guarantee will protect a player from being released due to the player not having the requisite skill needed, according to the team.

A cap guarantee will protect a player from being released so the team can get under the cap, sign a free agent, or re-sign another player. These two guarantees are rarely ever exercised on their own. The combination of cap and skill guarantees with injury guarantees forms a full guarantee. Full guarantees are used in almost every NFL contract and the player is entitled the money from full guarantees when they sign the contract. A signing bonus , true to its name, is an upfront guaranteed payment the player receives when they sign their contract.

Unlike normal guaranteed money, a player gets the signing bonus money usually within the first year after signing the contract, and the signing bonus is fully guaranteed. While the player gets the lump sum up front, the team can spread the signing bonus on their cap space into smaller payments over the length of the contract up to a maximum of five years.

The spread out payment of this signing bonus is called the prorated bonus. When a player is cut, the team must pay the remainder of the spread-out signing bonus at once, and this payment is applied to the team's cap space.
