We signed Peat for $33MM guaranteed. Not 50.

I was referring to the total price of the contract, 57.5 mil.

That is meaningless. Only the guaranteed amount matters. Total numbers only apply to "blow up the skirt" of the player. They rarely ever come to fruition.

And even "guaranteed" amounts are not chiseled in stone as some only become "guaranteed" if the player is still on the roster.
