Players want guarantees in their contracts to protect against injuries. We don't know how much was guaranteed, but the rumor is that there wasn't enough.

It really doesn't matter what the guaranteed amount was.

No contract means $2 guaranteed and the Jags tag him this year.
Signed contract means way more than $2 million guaranteed, $17 million more last season, roughly the same amount this season if he plays

The only year where he could lose money would be in year 3 and at most that would have been $5 million.

You're making the assumption that the contract would have kicked in last season.  Wentz's extension that he signed last year doesn't kick in until 2021, Mahomes big extension doesn't kick in until 2022.  If they didn't offer him a new contract, and instead an extension on his existing rookie contract, he wouldn't be out any money to this point and would help explain his declining of the contract and dissatisfaction with the FO.
