Should teams just cut bait and not pick up the fifth year option?
Transcript
00:01all right amidst our derby weekend fun and playoff hoops there's still time for
00:05you know seven minutes of football we'll do that right now david go ahead
00:13gentlemen let's play a little game it's now time for the teams to realize what are you
00:19going to do with that fifth year option do you keep your player are you going to trade your
00:23player or you're just going to let that player go so we'll just say we'll play this game fifth
00:29year option and keep or fifth year option and trade we're going to go through a list of the
00:34players from that draft we'll start off with philly just exercise nolan smith jr is this somebody that's
00:42going to be part of the long-term plan for philly or should they pay him the fifth year and
00:47then try
00:47to let him go pay him the fifth year i just don't think they're in a position not to i
00:51mean if he's
00:52healthy and he's right he can be a really impactful player they just traded for granard i'm i'm i'm
00:59giving him the fifth year at this point because you always need edges go ahead and just yeah pay
01:05the fifth year keep them and see what happens worst case you keep him he has a good year you
01:10don't want
01:10to commit to him you still get the comp pick correct that's what that's what all these teams do man
01:14that's very smart yeah they play that game okay uh let's go with dalton kincaid tight end buffalo bills
01:22oh absolutely now again health availability it has been a factor but when kincaid is right that
01:29offense is different he's outstanding yeah no i i'm i'm picking it up for sure yeah for a team that
01:35really hasn't invested in their wide receivers then that means you have to do the fifth year for
01:39dalton kincaid you just have to mike i'm gonna lean on you for this deontay banks giants nope guy should
01:47be bagging groceries the pos absolutely bar none one of the worst first round picks of the new york
01:54giants in modern history an absolute waste of skin horrible in every way the team would be better
02:00playing 10 on 11 than having him on the field horrific yeah another example of why you unless
02:07you're really high on the cornerback like high pick top 10 no no no no david he's so bad you
02:15it's arty burns all i'll say is arty burns he makes arty burns look like rod woodson
02:21i'm serious man you don't understand suffering until you've watched deontay banks on sundays
02:27this is probably more run than he's gotten all season
02:31jordan addison minnesota viking wide receiver oh boy
02:38i gotta keep him i gotta pick it up because the problem for them is that they they don't
02:44even if i believe kyler murray can quote fix the quarterback problem he still needs to be highly
02:52insulated making jefferson better they already lost nailer yeah and hockinson looks done i'll pick
02:59up the fifth year so i will pick up the fifth year see what happens as the season goes my
03:04question for
03:05you guys is can they would they be able to get a second round pick before the deadline for him
03:10just off the top of your head you do you think so a what pick second round i don't think
03:15you get a
03:15second i think third is the best you're gonna do okay well then i'm gonna say a fourth then i
03:19will
03:19keep them all year because you get the comp anyway for the third so that's why i was asking because
03:24if
03:24you think and your season's going haywire and maybe you can get a you know second but if you can't
03:30then just keep them stick with the wide receivers uh baltimore's picked up the option of
03:35zay flowers he long-term solution yes you pick up the option and get a deal done before it's done
03:39he's a stud i love him it's too bad his quarterback's ass sorry david you know it you watch
03:47him all year zay flowers is incredible he's amazing yeah so is lamar how about quentin johnson the
03:57chargers have picked up the fifth year option on quentin johnson is he long-term solution for the
04:02chargers no he had a hot start and then faded that that's that's a pass to me plus they they've
04:08got
04:08to focus their energy on that offensive line that offensive line's a shipwreck yeah i'm gonna say
04:13no to that one yeah them picking it up is is is them saying well let's just see let's just
04:18see and
04:19if it happens to work out then cool we got like we're the first five weeks of the season real
04:23or not
04:24we just i don't think it is i don't think so either i wouldn't have done it yeah jsn is
04:28a no-brainer
04:29he's already a rich and they're already a paid stud uh we're gonna go with jack campbell detroit
04:34lions no and and it's simple if you pick up the fifth year he makes 23 million a year you
04:40just
04:40get the deal done prior and you probably sign him for 17 or 18 and why is it that high
04:45because off
04:46ball linebackers are also kind of hybrid from a compensatory to edge rushers so the edge number
04:54brings it up they've kind of put the two positions together i i don't want to pay him 23 million
04:59so it
05:00puts pressure on me to get the deal done so i can just pay him 17 so no even though
05:06you want him does
05:06that make sense yes see i'm glad you explain that to people because on surface people are like oh my
05:11gosh we need to keep him you do need to keep him but not at that number that this is
05:16the smartest thing
05:17the lions have done all off season is to not pick that option up okay david this one's for you
05:23broderick jones no no but there's a reason to it i don't think he's good but then now he has
05:29the
05:29back and neck issues so you definitely don't pick up that option because we don't know if that's going
05:34to be good recover how he'll be no thank you yeah i'm out on that okay um and david he's
05:40not good
05:41no he isn't uh you know what let's skip to the good part ilana falcons bijon robinson
05:49i mean you're gonna pay him but long term is he part of your solution or is he more valuable
05:56in a
05:57trade down the line i don't know the trade thing i don't think anyone's given up a whole lot for
06:02a
06:02back i think you just you either believe you pay him or you don't for me i'm different i'm not
06:08paying
06:08a running back 20 plus million dollars a year i pick up the fifth year option i give him another
06:13600
06:13touches and then i throw him in the garbage and i go get another one i'm actually with you on
06:18that
06:18because even the franchise tag is only like 14 15 for a back right so do that let's go with
06:25um
06:26let's go with bryce young oh boy yeah it's the same as cj stroud i was gonna say i got
06:34bryce young
06:34cj stroud i say yes yes to both because they both have to prove it they have to prove before
06:40you're
06:40gonna lace them with a 200 plus million dollar deal yeah you have to you don't have it sucks but
06:46you have to i would and it gives you that extra year to decide yeah don't do what the giants
06:51did
06:52where you don't give daniel jones the fifth year then he proves it now you're effed and you owe the
06:57guy 40 a year versus i'll just pick up the fifth year and i've got options right okay that's your
07:04uh
07:05fifth year option blitz 97 one
