Foles' contract did not expire.

He can't get a starting job?

It wasn't voided either...

He was released which cleared $6.75M in cap.

What is a voided contract?

I believe that's a player based opt-out.

Wouldn't declining an option count as voiding the contract?

I'm still trying to figure out how Foles missed a wide open Tyreek Hill by 4 yards on a 5 yard slant that was a sure touchdown. I've been watching football for a long time, and that was the single worst forward pass that I've ever seen. I was kind of on board with him being our backup until I saw that pass.

Chief Northman 03-11-2017 08:33 PM

1 year deal + option

1 year deal expired. Chiefs allowed him to become a UFA as the window to pick up the option expired either Thursday or yesterday.....

Still think Chiefs can use him in the formula.

Drew Brees signed a voidable contract.

It's a manipulation of the salary cap to prorate the bonus over an extended period beyond the true life of the contract. So it probably says something like the contract is voided if he's on the roster by some random date or something stupid like that.

That's not how it works. Team's don't pick up the option by a certain date, they decline the option by a certain date or they must exercise it.

Alex Smith out of college had about *in terms of madden* a 86-88 Throwing power. After his injury.. down to about 82. Prob once he rotates his body.. some of those muscle fibers/nerves fail him or don't work how they used too.

We'll always have the second half of the Colts game to remind us what a deep TD pass to a Chiefs WR looks like.

So long Nick
