The earlier part nunusguy quoted is from sample contract language taken from the link I provided on voidable contracts. It is not Travis' contract, but it is possible that it might be very similar if you update the years appropriately.

Yes. Remember, that this was a first round contract signed, so it's not like it is normal relative to other rookie contracts.
Also, recall that the Texans' decision to bring back Carr before the 2006 season was because they executed a 'buyback' option ...after Carr had voided the end of his contract due to performance.
The difference here from Carr is just that there is no buyback option for the voided years.
