Teams add voidable years all the time, it lowers the annual average of the signing bonus cap hit and thus provides cap relief. In English it usually just means dead money in the future, like the recent Rothlis-raper deal.

$66 mil signing bonus (NFL record), and $75 mil in the first year (NFL record). Great job DP.
