But with a QB contract? Yikes, man - that's playing with fire. Those numbers will be soooooooo biiiiiiiig that you're really over a barrel if/when it comes time to re-do that deal.
Voidable years are hinky but understandable when dealing with a player who's probably not going to be around anyway when those void years get there; they'll have aged out.
But if you're the Eagles, you don't really want to have yourself in a bargaining position where you're about to take a zillion dollar dead money hit if you can't get a deal re-worked for the QB you want to keep around for another few years. Because man, that's a good way to get cornholed at the table (as Rodgers has done to GB repeatedly; Brees wasn't kind to NOLA either).
I just think that's a pretty awful idea.
