    Frankly Fo Sho, it smarts that I fell for the old "make him look up his own inaccuracy" trick. You bested me this time.

          The 5th year option is part of the rookie contract for all 1st round picks. It is a standard clause for all teams. The deadline for picking it up was May 5th, 2016. Any player from the 2013 1st round that didn't have the option picked up by May 5th is a free agent after this year. Even if Manuel gets hurt, the 5th year of his deal is already voided.

            I wish I'd have said that in less words.

              Teams have an option for a fifth year with first-round picks. The window for exercising options starts after a player's third regular season in the NFL ends. The deadline to pick up the option year (which the Bills didn't do) for EJ Manuel was May 5, 2016, which was the day after the conclusion of the 2016 NFL draft.

                2.5 for Kruger. 2.5 for Coples 1.2 for Randle.
                All on prove it deals is an effective 6.2 spent.
                I bet we we see more from them then Harvin.
                Also all that money would be available for Gilmore still next year.
                WILL NOT REMOVE THIS UNTIL SHADY IS SUPERBOWL MVP!!!
