whats the end date for picking up the 5th year option?  If its not for another year, getty jump the gun to early?  Anything can happen over the course of a year.

I think it's very soon, something like 5 or 6 days from now.  Maybe May 1?  I forget.  But no, this is not something that could have been put off.

According to BBR there are six days left:

The Carolina Panthers on Tuesday made official what general manager Dave Gettleman said he would do at last month's NFL meetings.

The team picked up the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, six days before the deadline to do so for 2013 first-round picks.

FYI: there's a 5th year option tracker at PFT and another at sbnation

I've been checking this thread periodically for someone to try to squeeze a negative out of it. It was inevitable.

If they had waited a year he'd already be a free agent by this time next year. That's the only way the option part works.

I'd really like to go back and watch every game, focusing on him, just to gauge how much he affected/aided KK. 

I would hope that he didn't/doesn't feel slighted because of KK's gaudy numbers and fanfare.

Theres a lot of talent on this team to go around, that's for sure.

why the fug would we do this?? he gets like no stats and does absolutly nothing for our defense. 

 

So...8 hours ago was what, 2:30 in the afternoon? Well, I guess it's 5:00 somewhere. jk

 

At least I am taking this as sarcasm after someone said the no one was made at this. You just had to do it didn't you? Right?
