It's a common tactic used in the NFL, typically the final year of those deals is either restructured, as I did with the Buckner deal, or cut, dependent on if the player is still playing up to the contract. Plus, the cap, with very few exceptions, tends to go up 5-10% every year, and this year went up by nearly 15%. What I did is not worrisome contract construction, because I didn't use void years or other silly cap tricks to create massively low first year cap hits.

Coincidentally, I will likely be updating this after the combine next week.
