Because this contract was for five years on paper, the Jets were able to pay Simpson $12 million the last two years but only be charged $7.7 million against the salary cap. The other $4.3 million in charges was pushed to the last three years of the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Voiding a contract essentially means the player is automatically cut on a certain date. Thus the entire $4.3 million bill becomes due on the Jets salary cap in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The process works the similarly way for these other players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Void years have become a common mechanism for NFL teams to kick salary cap hits for players down the road. When used effectively, they can help good teams keep important players.
