Report: Kolb rejects Cardinals contract restructuring offer
It’s taken a lot longer than many thought it would, but it looks like Kevin Kolb’s tenure in Arizona is just about officially over.
NFL insider Adam Caplan tweeted the news Friday morning:
QB Kevin Kolb rejected the Cardinals contract restructuring and will be released by 4:00 PM ET, source confirmed.

However, the team has left the door for him to return, which is very interesting. It was assumed that they didn’t want him back.

Kolb and the team discussed various options for him to return, but both sides could not come to an agreement.

Kolb is due a $2 million bonus if he’s on the roster Friday afternoon and would count $13.5 million against the team’s 2013 salary cap if his deal wasn’t reworked.
The Cardinals also signed free agent quarterback Drew Stanton to a three-year deal earlier this week.
