Ick wanting too much for the job he's done.  Hope he realizes he's ok but has never got close to a pro bowl

Maybe he's betting on himself to play better and earn a better payday

Seeing they didn’t draft any o lineman kinda had to

^This.  I'm sure they were looking too.  We just had so many holes to fill that picking a dude to leverage Icky in contract negotiations seemed very petty.  Noticed the news broke as soon as the draft was over.  Coincidence?

We got to get some of yall in therapy. 😛

It's normal for teams to exercise the fifth-year option in order to continue working on an extension during the season (with added wiggle room of an extra year to get the deal done).

It doesn't exclusively signify Icky wanting too much. It's a normal part of the process.

That might seem a little different after Rhule/Hurney and Reich/Fitterer, but that's because both of those regimes were garbage juice.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
