Void years have become the biggest cheat code in the league at this point. Cowboys, Browns, and others have done similar stuff to cheat the cap. Needs to be outlawed IMHO. If everyone else is doing it, Chiefs should tear up Mahomes' contract and create one with a bunch of void years in there to lower his cap hits.

Get ready for the Joe Burrow & Justin Herbert deals that look similar to Jalen Hurts, featuring a bunch of void years to make sure Burrow & Herbert's cap hits are pretty low. Not only is Mahomes going to be underpaid compared to his value, he's going to have much higher cap hits than these guys with the cheating void years added to their contracts. It is now a bad deal in both directions, with a very weak cash flow for Mahomes compared to his peers and very high salary cap hits for the Chiefs compared to much lower cap hits for other QB's around the league.
