Get ready for more void years in Lions contracts

The Detroit Lions are expected to continue using void years in their player contracts, according to COO Mike Disner and GM Brad Holmes. Void years are used to spread out the cap hit of a new contract over a longer period, making it more affordable at the time of signing. The Lions have been successful in managing their salary cap and avoiding unintentional dead money. This year, they will sacrifice over $12.3 million in cap room due to void years. This strategy allows them to potentially sign free agents like CB Chidobe Awuzie while spreading out the salary and signing bonus over multiple years. The Lions are at the forefront of this trend and are likely to continue using it in the future.
