The Chargers would never, ever do this. This was asked a while ago about the Vikings and Jefferson and even they wouldn't do that.

Top 10 really, because you can't extend a guy who peaked at Top 15.
I am surprised that more people aren't pissed about this yet, and the only reason I can think of is that the Bears traded for what is the current #1 pick. If that doesn't hold, and stroud leads Houston to playoffs or something, I expect the heat is going to be turned up.
He doesn't have to be extended this year, only optioned. But by skipping the option, they also run the risk of ending up in a Daniel Jones situation and paying big money to a bum.
My guess is they're already moving on, unless he goes on an absolute tear for the rest of the year.
