Buccaneers Pick Up Option In QB Josh Freeman's Contract

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have picked up an option in quarterback Josh Freeman's contract ensuring the contract lasts a full five seasons according to Pewterreport.com. Freeman has more guaranteed money as a result. If Tampa Bay had not exercised the option Freeman would have been a free agent after his fourth NFL season. The Bucs traded up to the 17th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft to select Freeman out of Kansas State. They signed Freeman to a contract totaling $36 million over those five seasons, initially $10.245 million was guaranteed, but since the option was picked up in Freeman's contract more money will be guaranteed in the future.

can someone who is more familiar with how nfl contracts work explain to me why this was necessary at this time?

from the way i'm reading this, the bucs had to pick up this option and guarantee more of the money in the contract in order for the contract to last the full 5 years ....................... um, why the fuck would the bucs write a contract that boxed them in like this when they've only had 9 games to watch the kid play and now they have to shell out MORE money ............... ??? This seems like a horrible contract for the Bucs.
