Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I'd thought I'd share just in case...
He said that he's heard from a source that Kyler has a loophole in his contract that will allow him to give the bonus money back to the A's and play football.
What I found most interesting is that Kyler might actually prefer football to baseball, and that he might apply for a draft grade in the NFL. If he is taken in the first thirty-one picks, he'll double the money he would have made with Oakland.
Pat Jones told Al that Kyler reminds him athletically of Michael Vick, but with better touch on the ball. Jones also said that Kyler is such an athletic freak, his size will not work against him in the league.
The strange thing to me about all of this is that nothing was mentioned about him coming back. It seems as though he's going pro one way or another.
