"Much was made of the trade and subsequent signing of quarterback Kevin Kolb by Arizona this offseason, and the Cardinals did so with the intention of having Kolb be their starter for years to come. And he could well do so.

But it's worth noting that if Kolb's production does not improve in the near future Arizona could move on with minimal financial and salary cap ramifications, according to the quarterback's contract.

Kolb missed significant time earlier this season with foot and ankle injuries and is not likely to play against Celevland Sunday as he recovers from a concussion.

Kolb will earn a $10 million signing bonus and $2 million salary in 2011. He is due a $7 million roster bonus this March which could conceivably be declined by the club, meaning they would could get out of Kolb's deal after paying him just $12 million over one year."
