sparky151 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Was there any doubt they would exercise the option? Unless he had missed more time last season with injuries, they were going to pick it up and be set at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Nothing against Williams but did they really have a choice? The fact they waited until after day one of the draft is kind of interesting, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 My guess is they will extend Jonah next year. Finding a replacement would be hard and likely expensive, and he was the team's best O-linemen last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be drafting at the bottom of the draft again most likely next year, or at worst in the middle of it. Which you aren't likely to find a blue chip left tackle that late, that can start right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they really have let a decent LT walk at the last minute for a late 1st round rookie? Maybe there was a trade being floated that involved draft picks for a vet LT? Odd timing for sure.

Odd timing for sure. yea some pretty unlikely scenarios would have had to of played out, wonder if there was a tackle theyd have taken and then considered moving joanh inside to LG and maybe not wanting to pay $12mil for a LG if so. i dunno, but drafting where they were i doubt they were too convinced his replacement was gonna be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingspoint Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Several teams picked up 5th-yr options today/yesterday for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Excellent explanation about 5th year options. I didn’t understand how it was calculated until I read this: Now I know why pro bowl appearances are so important for young guys. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-a-guide-to-fifth-year-option-decisions-for-2019-first-round-picks/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
