CommonCents Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Lots of declines all around the league. Is it abnormally high?
26CornerBlitz Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 Lots of declines all around the league. Is it abnormally high? Not an especially good draft class.
3rdand12 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 EJ could still be here in 2017 and beyond. He's just not getting hot money for doing it. I could see him sticking around. He might not get a lot of chances elsewhere. should be worth watching. if Cardale takes over as # 2 preseason EJM is long gone. some politics and psychology too to watch for as the season comes upon us Updated. @ProFootballTalk Bills reportedly decline fifth-year option on EJ Manuel https://t.co/34H2nPO2V9 right thing to do of course
26CornerBlitz Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 should be worth watching. if Cardale takes over as # 2 preseason EJM is long gone. some politics and psychology too to watch for as the season comes upon us right thing to do of course Cardale won't be ready to take the #2 role this season and maybe not even in 2017. EJ's option not being exercised is no shock at all given the $11M+ cost as discussed in the start of the thread.

Hope Jones move into the backup role to Tyrod by then. Any thoughts on what will happen to EJM? will Bills make him a lowball offer? Will another team feel they can make something of him? Even as a back up? I wish the Kid could find a home in the NFL. But that Jacksonville game really hurt my opinion of him, even with the comeback effort

If he's not with the Bills, he'll be a backup QB elsewhere in the NFL.

I hope so. Although some loathe the possibility, i think the best place for him to be is in Buff. lets see what Roman and Co. thinks i guess.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 @SalSports Report: Bills decline 5th year option on EJ Manuel: http://www.wgr550.com/Report-Bills-decline-5th-year-option-on-EJ-Manuel/22723354 In yet another another move signifying EJ Manuel’s time in Buffalo will be over after this coming season, the team has declined to exercise it’s fifth-year option on the quarterback, according to multiple reports. As Manuel now enters the final year of his contract, the Bills drafted Ohio State QB Cardale Jones in the fourth round over the weekend. General Manager Doug Whaley said Jones will be the third QB this season, while Manuel’s spot as the number-two behind Taylor this season is safe.
