Yes teams do do this all the time and often it leads to huge amount of dead money and/or cap hits down the road. iI ends up being a smaller percentage of the cap because the cap rose but it is still wasted money. A bridge QB just isn't worth the money some are throwing around.Teams do this all the time. It's part of managing the cap. 10 million in cap today is more expensive that 10 million in cap 4 years from now because the cap will be higher, considerably higher most likely.
