Re: Report - Manuel Option Not Picked Up ?
Manuel's 5th year is 2017 and if was picked up have to pay him average of top 20 paid QBs. It makes perfect sense.Originally posted by Night Train View Post -

Not surprising. There was no way they're going to guarantee EJ $11+ mil for one season.Comment

Bills Decline to pick up 2017 Manuel option
The crying's almost over.
The Buffalo Bills declined to exercise quarterback EJ Manuel's fifth-year option for the 2017 season, according to multiple reports.
Manuel, the 16th overall selection and the first quarterback taken in the 2013 draft, would have been due a $11.357 million salary in 2017 if the team had exercised the option. That salary would have been guaranteed in case of an injury until the beginning of the 2017 league year next March, at which point it would have become fully guaranteed.
With the Bills declining Manuel's fifth-year option, the fourth-year quarterback will be due a fully-guaranteed $2.827 million base salary this season before becoming a free agent next spring.Last edited by swiper; 05-02-2016, 04:21 PM.Comment

A lot of teams have been passing on the fifth year option according to the NFLN crawl today.
Mingo in Cleveland, Joeckel in Jax, Milliner in NJJ, Warmack in Tennessee, Elam in Baltimore.YardRat Wall of Fame

Really? I remember fans and media drooling with Warmack as a OG prospect. Joeckel is a suprise too.Originally posted by Mace View PostComment

Jarvis Jones in Pittsburgh, same thing. Just a bad year for NFL draft overall. Hindsight is 20/20. Should've traded picks for next year.Comment

Re: Report - Manuel Option Not Picked Up ?
Not surprising... That option year is expensive for a projected back-up. But don't be surprised to see him re-sign for a modest salary in 2017.
Those stats mentioned actually complete an entire 16 game season... 59.1%, 3,371 yards, 211 yards/game, 19 TD's, 15 INT's, 4 fumbles... Not terrible regardless of the hate.Manuel started 10 games at a rookie, four in 2014, and two last year. His 2015 starts came when Taylor was injured.
For his career, Manuel has a 59.1-percent completion percentage, 3,371 passing yards, 19 touchdown passes, and 15 interceptions. He also has lost four fumbles.
Go ahead... Flame away.

He may, but I'm not sure the Bills want to. I'm predicting the Bills will draft another QB 2017.Originally posted by Yasgur's Farm View PostNot surprising... That option year is expensive for a projected back-up. But don't be surprised to see him re-sign for a modest salary in 2017.

Just seems to me that the organization has put more resources on finding a QB (could be from the Pegulas?).Comment
