Personally I think the way teams are using the voided years is damaging.  This didn't use to be a thing.

What's the difference between a contract with voided years and a contract with bloated base salary years at the end of it?

$8M Signing Bonus over 4 years with base salaries of 

$3M/ $5M/ $15M / $25M

Vs

$8M Signing Bonus over "4" years with base salaries of 

$3M/ $5M/ void / void

bloated base salary is usually done with long term contracts (over 5 years) once the proration is expired they give massive base salaries to offset it.  

In this example, there really isn't much difference, the team is still taking the SB as dead money.  I'd have to look it up but maybe the voided year can't have the June 1st applied to stretch the dead money out over a few years.
