You are asking a question of Labor Law in an Immigration forum. I suggest running that contract by a Labor Lawyer in Florida for his opinion as to consequences.

Meet with an attorney with all documents, but you may be liable for financial payments to your old employer.  Do ever sign anything you do not intend to comply with.
