That should be fun.They are moving on Antonio Brown.
The fifth year options are just too high for so many of these players. Agholor is not a $9+ million dollar player to the Eagles (and I agree), so they’re really hoping they can trade him because cutting him looks really bad.

Arik Armstead says the 49ers are keeping him despite a similarly excessive fifth year option. Shaq Thompson is not a $9 million linebacker, but the Panthers seem intent on replacing Thomas Davis with him anyway. No idea what the Falcon are thinking, reportedly keeping Vic Beasley at $12.8 million. Trae Waynes is on the block in Minnesota, again at roughly a $9 million salary.

Same is true for both Danny Shelton and Malcom Brown. Solid DTs but the 5th-year option was too rich for either.
Yes, but you have to offer the player a better deal than the current one year contract. A lot of these fifth year options are right around $9 million, so there’s not much reason for them to commit long term for less than that. Panthers fans want Thompson for something like $15 million over three years, but that sounds like an awful deal when you think of it in terms of adding two years at $6 million total onto the current $9 million for one year.So let's say a Team Trades for one of those 5th year guys could they rip up the Option and iron out something new or more cap friendly??
EVERYTHING is fun in Philly (right, Lane ?)That should be fun.

If they'd truly been solid DTs, that 5th year option wouldn't have been too much.
I think this is where the fluidity of the meaning of "solid" comes in. My idea of a "solid" DT would be Malcom Brown; even a player like Lawrence Guy is better than just solid to me. Justifying the 5th year option requires a player to be better than solid. They have to be a plus starter.

Yes, if you thought Brown's play was solid in 2018, we are not on the same page.
Cap hit is not what we need anyway.Justin Houston and Jordan Howard are two BIG names out on the market. I expect we'll do our due diligence on Houston given that he was still a top LB when he played last year, but KC won't trade him to us.
Malcom Brown was terrible last year. No idea what happened because he was really good in 2017 and 16.I think this is where the fluidity of the meaning of "solid" comes in.
