I have heard multiple people comment about KC signing the FT. I was under the impression that the FT binds the player to that team for a one year contract and extends the time to reach a LTD. If a LTD isn't reached there are then two options:
1. Play the year
2. "Retire" for the season

What am I not understanding?

Also assuming the Skins FT Cousins we know he is not going to do option 2, like Bell is threatening.
