Quote:Didn't someone break it down a while back where there was really no incentive to pick up his 5th year option? Something about the negligible difference between a 5th year option and the franchise amount for a QB.


That way, we aren't locked and can still keep him if he balls out this year.

 

you have Linder, Robinson, Telvin, and Lee all running out at the same time.  I think that it would make sense to pick up the option so that in the event things go the way we want them to this season we would have more flexibility in keeping one of the other players from that Draft class should it come to it.  Case and point, there if Allen Robinson has the same year that he had in 2015 then he is going to want to get PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID.  It's not a stretch, we know he has the size and ball skills.  Look at the money that interior lineman got last year and think about Linder playing the pivot.
