Should we exercise 5th year option on Benjamin?

Official numbers aren't out yet, but its safe to say it will be about $8.5 million for 2018 season if we exercise it. Deadline to decide is may 3rd.

There's plenty of time for things to change with free agency and the draft.

At this point I wouldn't call it a no brainer, like it was with Star last year. The easiest answer would be to say we need to see how the offseason plays out first, but what moves or non moves would change your opinion on using this option on him if any?

People on the forum might not think it's a "no brainer" but I guarantee Dave and Ron think it is.

Personally, I believe Kelvin is too good and has too much potential to not exercise it. I'd say it's a close certainty that his option is picked up.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
