Other teams seem to be using void years in a creative way. Tampa did this with Brady too. He was being paid $35M of cash with cap hits around $15M because of the void years.
Cleveland handed Deshaun Watson a fully guaranteed contract at $46M of cash per year, and yet his cap hits have only been $9.4M and $19M in the first two years of the deal. I know they added void year stuff after the fact to help cheat the cap as much as possible. Supposedly his cap hits will be jumping north of $63M very soon, but we'll see what other tricks the Cleveland front office has up their sleeves.
