That could definitely happen and it's not a bad question. The new contract would just be added on top of the money we're already paying him for this contract. The $5M signing bonus is spread out over this year and the void years. Here are the cap hits for each year for this deal:

(disclaimer; these are tiny bit off, don't feel like dealing with the decimals)

2021: roughly $2M (around $1M base salary and $1M from the signing bonus)

2022: roughly $1M from signing bonus PLUS up to $2M if he hits the sacks and/or pro bowl incentives

2023-2025: roughly $1M from signing bonus EACH year.

 

 

For discussion sake, let's say we signed him to an extension that was worth $40M over 4 years, with a $20M signing bonus and $5M base salaries each year and keep it simple at that with no roster or other bonuses -- each year's cap hit in this hypothetical deal is $10M. The total cap hits would be:

 

2022: $10M PLUS 1-3M depending on incentives from this contract

2023-2025: $10M PLUS $1M from this contract's signing bonus which is spread over the void years

Small thing (I had to look this up for my own clarity), but the $1m hit for 2023-2025 seasons does get accelerated into 2022 once the contract voids so the current situation is:

2021: ~$2m

2022: ~$4m (+$2m in incentives, potentially)

And like you laid out, a potential extension would change how that money is allocated.

I was looking at this and when I clicked "extension" it looks like the signing bonus cap hit would be charged for each of those void years rather than getting accelerated into 2022 if we extend him, though I've seen conflicting sources on this and am not 100% sure which is correct. Either way whether it's piled up in 2022 or spread out, any new money from an extension would just be added to how this current contract hits our cap. If we let him go, you're right that $4M of the signing bonus would all hit in 2022.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
