A player signs a contract to play for a specified period of time, unless he puts it in the contract, he MUST play out the contract.

The owner signs the same contract which states that the owner has the right to terminate the contract.

It's all in the contract.  The owner has the right by contract to cut the player in exchange for letting the player keep the entire signing bonus.  It's a 2 way street.  The player accepts the terms of the contract and gets the money up front.

I thought that NFL contracts only forbid someone from playing on another team.
