Forget Baltimore, Kaep fits perfectly in Miami

[eaglesnut]

I'm not an attorney, but legally... I'm not even sure Cutler could take the call. FOX has Jay lined up to begin his broadcasting career in a mere week. They're paying him handsomely to do so. The odds of them letting him bail now? I'd have to say they're non-existent.

Letting him?

 

[richig07]

He would have if he ended up with Harbaugh and Roman with the Niners.

From a physical stand-point, Manziel isn't really anything like Kaep. His sample size is just far too small, and couple that with the fact that he would have been a fall down drunk wherever he would have wound up... it's hard to say things would have ended differently. No matter the scenario you place him in.

 

[richig07]

Letting him?

Yes... "letting him"... Are you familiar with legally binding contracts? lol. Cutler could not just walk away from FOX. They would have to give him permission to walk out on it, arrange some kind of a legal buy-out... etc...

I agree with you there. Things would have ended the same as Keap.

If you want to call terminating him for breach of contract, "letting him" then sure.

I believe Cutler has a out in his contract with Fox. Otherwise why would he say he could be coaxed back in if the situation is right. Just guessing but that's how I took his comment.

Yeah, makes no sense for there not to be. Good for business to keep him visible.

I agree, and despite the fact that I don't agree with Kaep (in the least) on his social stances. I have no problem with his protesting. Freedom of speech is apart of what I love about this country, and that doesn't change when it comes from an angle I believe to be misguided. I think people viewed his kneeling for the anthem as being "anti-american" and his alignment with BLM, praising Fidel Castro and other far left figures... It didn't really help him any.

I get the whole freedom of speech thing..........

But it wasn't. It was disrespecting the american flag and everything it stands for.

It was disrespecting all of the forces that died to protect this freedom.

Everytime i hear o'canada on tv i belt it loud and proud.

NO ONE SHOULD DISRESPECT THE FLAG

 

[Hank Kingsley]

His freedom to do just that.

I don't hear anthems on TV, it's why I record.

Skip right through them to them important stuff.

Johos sit for anthems, I can tolerate that a lot easier than them knocking on my door on a Saturday AM.

I disagree. I believe what Kaep did was perfectly in the spirit of American values, and everything the flag stands for. However, I do realize we will never agree on this. So, I digress.

He didn't. He outright said; "When I made the decision to sign with FOX. I knew it would be final, and there was no turning back."

In his own words, there is zero out.

Yeah... it's not that simple. FOX would subpoena Cutler to court, in a nano-second. He would wind up owing them a good amount of money. Unless there is some potential buy-out clause, which was agreed upon beforehand. However, it does not sound like this is the case.

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Kap would really fit in at Washington,Philly, or the Giants. They could use Qb help

I don't think Fox would give a shit, personally. People change their minds all the time.

K... well. I have no interest in talking football with somebody who is so blinded by his hatred of Kaep, that he feels his NFL career has been no more successful than Johnny Manziel.

FOX would have a grand total of one week to find his replacement for the season. They've most likely already paid him a good deal of cash upon him signing. That would also have to be worked out. Which lands them both in court. Not quite as simple as "No hard feelings! Good luck!"

 

[Dolemite censored]

.if Manziel had ever done anything remotely close to that he'd still be in the League.

Too bad Manziel hits his GF and the pipe instead of wide receivers deep...

Eh, they have plenty of personalities at Fox. They can live. Did ESPN wet themselves when Curt Schilling went full Curt Schilling on twitter? Nope. Good visibility for Fox. Really doubt they care so long as it's just a 1 year thing. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a clause in there. We haven't heard anything about it, but nothing to say it isn't there either.

An employee ditching out on a contract, and termination of an employee are two pretty different things from a legal standpoint. However, I get your point, and fair enough. It sounds like Tannehill will be okay anyway...
