No way I'm pick it up unless he gets 10+ next year. If you want the bag you gotta earn the bag.

They need to make the call before the 2024 season starts …( by May actually) 

 

Its $13.8m according to this ..I think they pick it up to give themselves more time

They'd be better off taking them in R2 or 3 rather than late in R1.  The odds are against you either way,  but at least the investment isn't as high.

Been there, done that.

Yeah, I was just kidding anyway.

May as well pick up the option and see what he turns into as he builds muscle and strength.  He is a very young player, will only be 24 at the start of next season.   If you pick up the option, you essentially have a 24-year-old edge rusher with average production and high upside on a 2 year 17.5-million-dollar contract.   He hasnt been elite like a member of this board promised he would be, but I am not sure you find 6 sacks a year from a free agent for much cheaper and Groot has already had time playing in the system. 

 

 

[Success]

Oliver took a step. Epenesa took a step.

 

Hopefully Groot can too.

Good against the run but not a consistent pass rusher. Said it all along that he’s not a guy that’s going to win off the edge and get to the QB with any kind of regularity. He’s a good player for what he is though.

Too bad he doesn’t know how to play the LBer position.

[philholbroo]

Only use the 5th year option as a little leverage to extend him. Would not actually use the 5th year for him as a DE. But do please extend him, he is good and don't need a carousel to continue at that position.

[gonzo1105]

I mean he was fine early, he was getting around Mahomes but then as the game went on there wasn't a pass rush really at all from any of them.

[Big Blitz]

Amon-Ra St. Brown went in the 4th round of this draft.   
 

And Creed Humphrey 2 picks after Basham.

Thank you.

I mean he’s almost as young as Tremaine.

He’s 6 months younger than Kincaid.

The Dline disappeared entirely against the Chiefs in the season ending lost.  I think every last one of them is replaceable. 

[Comebackkid]

part of the last half of year sack droppage could be attributed to the injury scenaro with lbs and cbs. 

first half the year and a healthy back field and qbs were having to hold the ball longer..

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

Meh … solid run defender, disappointing pass rusher. Toolsy guy who hasn’t gotten to the next level given those tools. I liken him to a Phil Hansen without a Bruce Smith

Thoughts and opinions? It may be time to start looking elsewhere. He has definitely underperformed and hasn’t played to the level we expected. 

Expand  

 

One, he hasn't been bad and is undeserving of being demoted.

 

Two, even if that was a thing that made even a little sense to be done - you are aware that Rousseau, Von Miller, and Kingsley Jonathan are LITERALLY the only DE's we have under contract, right?

 

We already have to re-sign or replace Leonard Floyd, AJ Epenesa, and Shaq Lawson. You want to add Rousseau to the list too?

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

The entire DL is Tarzan when playing against Jane, and Jane when playing against Tarzan.

That’s crazy. The funny thing is that ages for guys coming out of college are going to fluctuate so much with all the transfer portal stuff. 

[Green Lightning]

He's like Phil Hanson. And there's nothing wrong with that. Happy he's on the team.

[Mr. Wonderful]

Decent player.  Not a bust, not a star.
