that's not exactly true. look at this deadcap figures after 2023. if they cut him before the 3rd day of the new league year starting in 2025, there is zero dead cap.

spottrac is making the same mistake with Mahomes that they are making with Tannehill in that while it is true that he has 5 million in dead money the 3rd year of the contract that would not be the dead money if he cut before his 3rd season because his salary for the 3rd season becomes guaranteed the 3rd day of the league year before his 2nd season. Mahomes has exactly the same structure as that but instead of just doing it once, it happens every single year of the contract after the 3rd year where even if you cut him the day after the season ends you still owe him next seasons salary.
