From what I can see it's a dangerous game where a GM spreads a players cap hit across later years in the contract called "void years". Once those void years hit the player can literally give up on the team and sign somewhere else. The GM and team at that point are ****ed and have to eat the dead cap money and are hamstrung. Russian roulette. Eagles have gotten lucky as all hell with this but I can guarantee you that with their dbag coach and their emotionally coddled stars that at some point this house of cards can fall and they'll be paying AJ Brown to catch balls for the Cowboys or somebody. I can see why a team like the Chiefs would avoid this.
