NewEra Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 And to think there are people that believe that JAs market value can’t go up if we wait. Utter nonsense. His market value has already gone up since the debate 2 weeks again. Whether or not he wants to capitalize on that is a different story....but his market value has already risen. 35M for Taysom Hill. I’m a fan of the guy, but 35M already? Meh 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 This sounds like one of those old poison pill contracts. Bills should do this with Josh Allen before the NFL bans them. Give Josh an 8 year deal that's really a 4 year deal just to spread the cap hits out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 21 minutes ago, Big C said: Can someone explain how these voidable contracts work and why they do them? Voidable years in contracts are used to delay cap hits. Let’s say you have a player on a 1 year, $12M deal. That’s a $12M cap hit that season. But if your team wants to delay some of that cap hit, they can make it a 5 year deal with 4 years that automatically void. One structure is 5 years with a $10M signing bonus and $2M salaries in every year. Now it’s a 5 year, $20M contract that automatically voids to 1 year, $12M. But the cap hits would be $4M in year one and $8M in year two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like it should be illegal right? Why not just add voidable years to every contract? Maybe limit voidable years to 2 years or something.
