Bills pick up Groot's 5th year option

Hope he can be extended for a reasonable contract. Not a game breaker (and I wouldn’t give him a game breaker contract), but is stout and when there is another DE causing pressure on the other side, cleans up sacks pretty well.

Someone here will be mad about it

Not mad. Not surprised. I like the guy really.

 

But, I can't be the only one who thinks his career thus far has been average at best.

 

He's been a better version of Epenesa, which BTW isn't exactly high praise.

Good move. Not sure he is good enough to give an extension but this buys you more time. 

That's all this is, like Edmunds.  Give him an extra year to see if he can ever get to 10 sacks. If not, wave goodbye. I've been somewhat underwhelmed with Grootseau.

AJE has averaged 3.9 sacks/yr. I think Rousseau is 5.7/yr.  Hardly worth 13.4M?  Both have been disappointing.

If Beane thinks he'll keep improving then now's an excellent time to buy, later and he could be much more expensive, but it's a gamble.

Decent player. Not worth an extension at this point. Maybe that changes? IDK.

 

A lot like most our roster.

 

that's that negative spin we needed around here

He’s good enough for the extension, just a matter of the price

Well, they LOVED Jerry Hughes and he was the same thing. 5 sacks a year and they treated him like he was a Saint. He was the most overrated player here through his tenure

No one is saying to pay Groot top dollar

No one is saying he's the best player in the league

No one is saying he's a saint lol

 

You guys are impressive with your ability to create something out of thin air so that you can argue against it

 

Keep up the good work we need you
