I will update as further information becomes available.

Thanks, it is very helpful. Expect Vikings to exercise Barr, Bridgewater would be based on medical reports, as if the doctors feel there is a good chance he will not be able to play again, it would be throwing a lot of money away.

The Barr option may depend on how things are going with Rhodes and Bradford extensions. Also, I expect us to need a lot of 2018 cap space to extend both Kendricks and Hunter, as they will be in their final years of their rookie contracts. If something has to give, it may be skipping the option on Barr and trying to extend him at a cheaper price. IIRC, since he was picked in the top 10, the option is pretty costly.

Elsewhere on the list, it will be interesting to watch what happens with Bortles and Watkins.

The option for Barr will be close to $12M.The decision has to be made by May 3rd,so I don't think the extensions for Rhodes and Bradford will factor in.

From what I've seen and read,Watkins and Bortles are on thin ice and decisions won't be made on them until immediately after the draft.If Jacksonville select a QB at some point,then that will answer the Bortles question.

To decline his 5th-year option is interesting.

Geez woman,hold your horses *tongue*

The list is now final.
The Bills decision is simply based on his injury history and the fact that he is currently recovering from foot surgery.Similar to the Vikings with Teddy,the injury guarentee played a big part in the decision.
Greg Robinson has been a major bust,and reporters from LA feel it would have been better to simply cut Robinson and start fresh.
Darqueze Dennard is the biggest surprise for me.He's been a major disappointment for the Bengals and has struggled to make an impact in their secondary.

Watkins might be one that is applied to. Shows the hit and miss of drafting.

I kinda hope not. He hasn't been that impressive, and he played rather soft last year.

Yes he was!

I did a poll on here and I was the only one who voted to not exercise the option.
Most of the other participants thought it was a "no brainer" because he was a top ten pick who had an "off year"

This could well be the next 5th year option snafu *lol*

By the way,prior to 2017,the two GMs who used the option the most were Dave Gettleman and Rick Spielman.
One of those is now unemployed,and the other may be headed that way!

Ahhh well I would have voted against it too, but I'm just not very active during the offseason lol. He's definitely not playing up to that potential we've heard so much about. Imagine if we had 2 Kendricks? That's how good I thought Barr was supposed to be. And yes I realize that's him striping, scooping, and scoring a GW TD in my avatar xD. Where did that guy go? He showed promise in 2014.

Well maybe that's a good sign. He's aware of it and he acknowledged it, so now maybe we'll get what was promised. I can't fault Ricky too much if he was smart enough not to exercise the 5th year on Teddy. 20 years later and Ricky is finally figuring out the QB position.
