[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 915746, member: 4199"] Void years are, to the best of my understanding, just a trick to spread out cap hits. Consider a simple example--you want to sign an older vet, lets pretend his name is Candle Robb. The magic number for his contract is 5.5 million for one year. You do not have 5.5M in cap space to sign Mr. Robb. You can probably afford 3-3.2M. Somewhere in there. What you do instead is give him a 2 year contract, with base salary for 500k and a 5M signing bonus and make the second year void. This allows you to spread the signing bonus over this year and next year. Year 1 cap hit: 500k salary, 2.5M signing bonus. Year 2 cap hit: 0 salary, 2.5M signing bonus. [/QUOTE]
