Your 2021 S addition: Malik Hooker

[Risen Star]

File it away. I want.

(No jokes about me wanting a Hooker, please)

 

[dwreck27]

Has he been productive? Haven’t heard a peep about his career and only remember him being highly thought of coming of Ohio state

 

[KingintheNorth]

A lot of 5th year options not being picked up this year, more so than any other year I can recall.

The only player I remember who did not have their 5th year option picked up and then turned around and balled was Chicago Bear CB Kyle Fuller. They ended up having to tag him after his 4th year and he went to 2 Pro Bowls and 1 first team All-Pro honor.

7 pics in 3 season, but he's missed 14 games over those 3 years.

We do love 1st rounders who didn’t pan out with the team that drafted them

We should have signed that Taco guy before the Chiefs nabbed him.

SS or FS?

or BDSM?

Seems like a lot of teams are declining the 5th year options. I think it has more to do with how the money is guaranteed from the new CBA then it is on the players abilities.

 

[Sydla]

Id rather get a DE.

This might be the smartest thing you've ever posted, although I could be a tad biased when it comes to Ohio State alums from western PA.

Sign me up.

I see Colts fans voted 75% in favor of picking up the option on this poll despite the injuries....

He's got a lot of talent.

Meh.

Kareem Jackson didnt have his picked up. He was terrible his first 3 years, then broke out and got an extension his 4th year

Honestly I dont see much of a reason not to pick it up for lower firsts. I remember when we picked Byrons up, it was only 6 million

Ehh. If you look at the players who've had their 5th year options declined, there has been some kind of issue. Plus, the 5th year jumps up significantly (before and after the new CBA).

Hooker has had a hard time staying healthy.

John Ross, Garret Bolles, Leonard Fournette, Solomon Thomas, Corey Davis, Jarrad Davis, Mitchell Trubisky, etc., have not played up to expectations.

Jamal Adams, TJ Watt, Mike Williams, and Adoree Jackson,who've all had their 5th year option picked up, have played well.

Honestly, hasn't really done much of anything so far in the league. Always worth it to kick the tires, but he's been mediocre.

What?

 

[EMMITTnROY]

I’d send them a 5th rounder and Xavier Woods for him right now.

 

[stilltheguru]

He'll just get franchised if he has a big year.

 

[Oneiros]

Sadly, he can't stay healthy.

 

[Joe Realist]

In a year, Hooker just might hit the streets.
