From a team standpoint it does make sense. If you know you want the player beyond his current deal, you’re basically trading cap space in the distance future when you know the cap will balloon to where the contract is undervalued so that you can have a cap advantage today over teams that aren’t doing this.
On a long term Mahomes deal, yes. On Dak’s continually short deals? No.
The cap relief is nice, but the big takeaway from this is Dallas has no plans for moving on from Dak for many many years.
No. The takeaway is that they’re already adding to the $13 million cost for 2025. For a player not under contract.
