I can understand the reasoning. It keeps teams from offering unrealistic contracts to older players or those coming off of injuries. It forces the team to assume the risk. Just think what would happen if a retirement or injury could be used to void a contract as far as the cap hit was concerned. You would have teams offering 10 year deals to 39 year old quarterbacks.
