As he told us he would do in February, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has indeed picked up the fifth-year option for defensive tackle Ed Oliver, the ninth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The team announced the move Tuesday.
The move means Oliver will be on the roster in 2023 at the price of a guaranteed $10.735 million.
Oliver commented on Twitter right after the announcement, seemingly referencing his payday.
