Steelers Exercise Fifth-Year Option on Dupree

3 years is plenty for me to see that spending 9 million dollars on a fourth year from Bud Dupree is like lighting it on fire.

True "zero liability" would have been to not exercise the option. He's a liability 95% of the time he's on the field.

Lol...read it again. For the love of God. WE ARE NOT SPENDING 9M FOR DUPREE THIS YEAR. In fact, if we dont like what we see, WE ARE NOT SPENDING 9M ON HIM NEXT YEAR.

It is a FIFTH year option. He is in year FOUR. Think about it. Then think about it again.

While it IS true that the only zero liability would have been not to exercise this, the ONLY real liability here is if he gets injured.

Excuse me, let me re-state that for you:

Better?

Well, at least you have the year right this time.

Had i not read the article, i would agree with you. Since there is no guarantee related to the 5th year, seems silly to be bothered by this.
 
Dupree surely needs to step up and play better.

$8-9M is an investment for this team, and while it might seem like a lot, I think it's the right move because this beats going out on the FA market and picking up some dud.
 
im glad we didt pick another skinny legged LB in the 1st.....Colbert cant afford another Jarvis Dupree pick

Now just hope he dint pick the next Shamarko
