LVE option is now a no brainer decline

[fivetwos]

Given what some very good players are signing for the last couple of days....

There's NO way they can pay him 13 million for 2022.

I realize he fits the mold of those Jerry likes to double down on dumb with, but this team has got to start making better and more realistic decisions with their own draft picks and second contracts or none of the futility will ever change.

His neck will look like a Pez dispenser at the end of the season. Let him walk.

 

[CATCH17]

If his medical is good I would sign him.

We need defenders and this is the one guy who has looked incredible at times but I do worry about his health.

He’s worth his market value though.

For 13 million?

I'm not opposed to bringing him back long term, but at much less AAV.

This team is as frugal as can be with free agents but drunken sailors with their own. Thats the point.

This is their issue. They are so desperate to sign their own because it validates them drafting this player.Letting them walk admits they made a mistake. Can't have that....Their ego is too big.

The problem with this is that the 5th year is only guaranteed for injury.

Vander Esch's history makes it so there's a real possibility that they can be on the hook for that money without him contributing on the field.

His market value is, a neck brace, and two bandage wraps.

 

[Bowdown27]

Absolutely decline.

 

[CATCH17]

Like I said.. If his medical is trash then don't sign him.

Only they know his true health.

Based on what they say publicly and what I know then no way do I let this player go.

It might be something you could have done had you not signed the gimp before him.

 

[CATCH17]

They need to get a longterm deal done.

He seems like the type that would do it.

 

[CATCH17]

When the times comes Jaylon has to go.

Unless somehow someone gets him in his 2018 form which I still have no idea how we got a year out of him like that.

The Wolfhunter is a solid LBer when healthy. He has had surgery to fix his neck and just needs to heal fully.

One of the most perplexing things I've ever seen in pro sports.

 

[fivetwos]

The problem is that the decision on the 5th year option has to be made this May.

Medically he should be fine.

Honestly even if he returns to 2018 form in 2021, he still won't be worth 13 million.

Not with the numbers I'm seeing lately.

I would agree. I don’t understand how Smith went from a stud in 2018 to one of the worst players on the team in 2 years. I will never believe it is physical. Smith just ended up being a bad guy. Lazy and entitled.

Maybe he was on performance enhancers.

He looks like a Super Hero in person. Most people that look like that didn't do it naturally. Even if they are genetic freaks.

And if anyone needed them it would've been him for that injury.

He gets paid...

Then goes back to being bad.

Kind of makes sense but its obviously pure speculation.

 

[John813]

Decline and if by some miracle he reverts to his rookie year and stays healthy franchise tag him.

It'll be 2-3mil but worth it due to his injuries, and it's not fully guaranteed this year.

I doubt it. He's still a freak athlete. He's a mental midget. Bad angles, poor technique, stuff like that. He's still physically limited by his leg, but he should be able to work around that.

 

[USArmyVet]

Dallas will pick up his 5th year option simply because they can't admit yet again a 1st round draft pick mistake much like they had to with Taco Charlton (drafted in 2017) and a 2nd round (their first pick) mistake like Trysten Hill (drafted in 2019).
