Chiefs pick up Eric Fisher's fifth-year option

The Kansas City Chiefs exercised left tackle Eric Fisher's fifth-year option for 2017.

What It Means:

The option is worth $11.9 million. Despite being the No. 1 overall pick in 2013, it was not a slam dunk decision for the Chiefs to activate Fisher's option. Fisher played reasonably well at right tackle last year, but his play was inconsistent after moving back to the left side. It is not a given he ever develops into an above-average starter. With the option guaranteed for injury only, it is still possible Fisher is not with Kansas City in 2017.

The Chiefs gave up a whopping 46 sacks in 2015, which racked up -58.17 Sack Net Expected Points.
