Im not so sure they extend him at this point, and if they dont there might be some hurt feelings resulting in someone else playing qb next year.

If a team does extend a player, the contract does not become guaranteed until the start of that NFL year (which is in march). We can do the 5th year option and still cut him before march 2016 and pay nothing for year 5. The exception being if he suffers a long term injury that would have him out in 2016 then he will get an injury guarantee and that 5th year will be paid.
