Why do people in here keep saying this. The team did not just "give him" $9 million. He is playing in 2018 under his rookie deal, so they are paying him whatever that amount is for this season. IF he is still on the team at the beginning of the next league year, which starts in March of 2019, or if he is injured as of that date then they will owe him the guaranteed amount for his option year. If he gets through the season without injury and the team decides to cut ties with him then they can do so before March and not be on the hook for a single dime of that $9 Million.

On the subject of opinions. Seems to me that one can't really have an opinion unless they are cognizant of the pertinent facts surrounding the topic under discussion. They can have a reaction. Not an opinion. And no, they aren't the same thing.

Odds are pretty good he finishes the season on IR and can't pass a physical next spring. This loaf has been hurt more than healthy in his career.

Not to mention from a business standpoint Armstead now has a motive for finding his way to IR, cashing in a 9 million dollar pay day. After 2019 Its possible he doesn't see that much money over the rest of his NFL career.

He also has motive to play at a high level... big money long term deal, be it here or on the open market.

He is not going to purposely try to get injured just to get 9 mill for one year, and that is what it seems you implied.

I'm implying he has 9 million reasons to hit the IR asap.

And everyone is acting like they gave him that LTD. If it's only one year and they won't be hurting for cap space that year, I don't see why it's that big a deal. It's not my money.

To keep him just because we have the money to do so makes as much sense as keeping him because we hope this is the year he finally stays healthy and gets it

So sensitive. Maybe football isn't the sport for him.

It is most definitely not a big deal.

remember we were told he will be part of the twin towers ? lol

Even if he does not live up to draft status and get a big money deal...being able to play in this league for 10 years > a one year deal at 9 mill.

We can still cut him despite picking up the option. His play will dictate whether he is here beyond this year.

You are trying too hard, content of your posts as of late is lacking.

Remember when we were told Foster being charged would divide the locker room?
