Originally posted by PopeyeJonesing:Armstead's problem has always been health more than ability.
If he can stay healthy next year and keep up this level of play (and quite frankly, he could even dip a bit) with the salary cap at 190 he'll be WELL WORTH the 9 million on the 5th year option.
That option is probably best for guys like Armstead and Ward, as you get another year of seeing if they've been unlucky with injuries or just can't stay healthy without making a long term commitment. For Ward the answer is obviously that he just can't stay healthy so the team will be moving on, but if Armstead can stay healthy next year and keep this up I think he's worth keeping in the building long-term.
Nice post. I agree 100%
