So really a team could get him for $15.3M this year, cut him next year for only $2M dead cap, and that's it?

There's been a few players who fulfilled their military obligation then came back to football 5 years later and had good careers. Last one I know is Chad Hennings. Most successful one I know of is Roger Staubach. But I only pay attention to the cowboys. I'm sure there are others.
How long had Kurt Warner been stocking groceries before he had his big comeback?

They talk like he has a choice on where he ends up but I don't think he has a no trade clause and as far as I know, it's not him wanting to leave the Falcons and more the Falcons just can't keep him.
EDIT Imagine it could be considered on him by wanting the 15m they agreed to pay him.

Oh I'm well aware. I'm talking more about straight chuckin' it, something like this:
From the 25 to the 5. For those keeping count that's 70 yards in the air.

While Brady's performance on deep throws is impressive, every other QB we're talking about would love to have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, and Gronk as targets downfield to throw to. Not that the other guys don't have good receivers, too, but on the whole that group is just sick. Even Scotty Miller was pretty good downfield target.

Maybe every other QB should stop taking the max fucking dollars and help the organization out. There's only so much money to go around, if you're going to cripple your franchise live with the consequences. It's either money>super bowls or super bowls>money.....pick a lane!

On the flip side, teams could actually draft young, cheap WR's for their star QB's instead of wasting a 1st round pick on a backup QB. The whole point of taking a QB early these days is to max the value while they're cheap on a rookie contract. Packers already wasting 2 years of Love's at this point, plus they took a RB in the 2nd round right after Love last year, then re-signed Aaron Jones for $12M+ a year.

I coulda swore hennigs did 5 years so I assumed that's what they all did. I just looked it up and he did 4 years like Staubach. He was supposed to do 8 but got out early after serving in the Gulf War.
