Somehow, some way, Howie Roseman out-Veach'd Veach.

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.

I mean they have to still pay the money, it's two different ways of doing it. Personally I like the Mahomes contract

You pretty much have one hand tied behind your back, and you're not doing right by the player or the team. The player is taking less cash and still has higher cap hits than rival QB's, which makes no sense. Gave up Tyreek Hill. Meanwhile the Bengals are probably going to use void years on Burrow's contract to let them keep both Chase and Higgins over the next 4+ years. Same thing with the Eagles loaded roster. When you get to the later part of the QB contract, you do a new one to lower the cap hits once again.
