How do they have cap room for all of these MFers?

I can't make sense out of some of these eagles contracts. Have never seen anything like this. Here's an example.
https://overthecap.com/player/jalen-hurts/8793. He's got a $97M cap hit on the 1st void year and the dead money is only $8M if they cut him, but its a void year so how can they even cut him?

ETA. Good explanation here. That salary grid for Hurts is wrong in that the $97M is guaranteed in that 1st void year. As long as Hurts works out they can restructure then but if he doesn't they'll have to eat it. They do something similar with their other big signings where they just give option bonuses each year to spread the cap hit into void years. They just take kicking the cost down the road to a whole new level. But they've also have done a really good job of drafting and signing good players so taken together in the present, it buts them in an excellent position.

Not sure you can really blame him. He almost beat the Bills two weeks ago with Tyrod Taylor.

I really like Wendale Robinson.

He also just gift wrapped a game to the Jets where they took over with 1 1/2 minutes left with a lead on the Jets 26.

I know someone suggested they might be going after Surtain, but it's really pretty silly to think that they had to move a defensive tackle who barely plays to clear up a roster spot. Teams move players from the active roster to the 53 man all the time. Not having a roster spot open isn't going to stop a team from trading for a player that a team really wants.

The Giants were a couples turnovers that went their way from being sub .500.

Mike D played the reining AFC east champions and Super Bowl favorites three times to a 1-2 record decided by 8 total points with a 7th round QB taking snaps in the playoffs.

Seems even.

Yeah, but the NYG went from 3 or 4 wins to 9 wins and a playoff win.

We went from 9 wins to 9 wins.
