Fifth year option.  Remember when they announced it how CJ exploded?

The only time it really doesn't make sense to take the option is if the player is really bad.  The contracts are cheap relatively and it's very little commitment.  It's rare when a 1st rounder only goes 4 years on their contract.

Why did anyone get upset about it?

Because paying $8 million to Dennard seemed crazy to some given his injury history his first three years.

$8 million for one year compared to $8 million average over 5 years is a big difference in risk.  It's practically no commitment and that isn't a big salary to absorb for one year.

What'll be really interesting is if Ced gets his 5th year option, or if he even gets there.

Saw two mocks today.  Baker Mayfield and Connor Williams.  I'd have to add a question about Baker Football for the next ball coach.

oh my... Johnny Football 2.0.. nothing like a 5'10" QB that beats up on the big 12 defenses..

don't get me wrong he is a really good college QB, but no way in the pro's... no way...

I will puke/give up if that chit happens..

I think Brown could hold down left tackle.  Maybe RT as a rookie.  I also don't think the people in charge are moving on from Dalton.  Especially considering the QB's still left in the playoffs.

- Roquan Smith LB  Would love having him

- Quenton Nelson G  Super prospect, but plays a spot we have lots of options

- Connor Williams LT  No thanks.  Too weak.  Ced 2.0

- Orlando Brown RT If not Roquan, then him

- Vita Vea NT  Mice addition, but can we afford to skip huge needs at LB and Oline?

- Mike McGlinchey LT  I'd rather trade down.  he's good, but not top 12

TRADE DOWN

- Billy Price C

- Rashaan Evans LB  Third best option.  I'll add more below

 

Round 2 options

- Billy Price C  Yes Please

- Frank Ragnow C  Yes

- Malik Jefferson LB  I hate him as a second rounder

- Chukwuma Okafor OT  Wanna see him in the senior bowl.  Looks like a project.  Didn't dominate lower competition, which is a huge Red Flag for me

 

 

 

 

Added comments to the op.

 

Another guy to target in 1/2

Tremaine Edmunds.  VaTech   Reminds me of Burfict out there.  Just balls out  Versatile enough to play inside or outside.  Can take his brother at safety later.

Just giving you a hard time.  I'm #TeamBaker.  He's like Drew Brees after four shots of Jack.  The man can ball...

I think Connor Williams had a way better college career than Ogbeuhi. I really didn’t think Ogbeuhi even had a good college career to begin with so I don’t think it’s fair to compare. I like him better than McGlinchey. Orlando Brown is gonna be a beast at RT I just don’t see him being that prototypical LT, but it’s ok because we need both
