5th Year Option Numbers for Jordan and Ingram

I posted this in the Ingram thread but figured it is likely buried in there. The deadline to decide whether to use the option is May 3.

Using it on Jordan is a no brainer because that may be half of what he actually gets per year so it will save us money in the long term.
I can't see them using it on Ingram. Better backs got less this year. Even if he does get around 1,000 yards I can't see him getting that much off of 1 (full)year of good production.
This also fits what I said about the roster bonuses for Byrd and Lofton next year being turned into signing bonuses(or Lofton getting cut). Combined, that would save us $7.8m(or $8.8m if Lofton is cut instead), more than enough to use the option on Jordan.
Those bonuses seemed to have been put in with Jordan's option in mind.
But maybe this is just another example of Loomis correct a mistake.
Edit:
In the other thread I also switched the savings on Byrd($4.8m) and Lofton's($3m) bonuses in my mind and mistakenly said it would be cheaper to do the roster into signing bonus with Lofton when in fact we save a million more($4m) cutting him.

Jordan’s extension is expected to cost $6.969 million for 2015 and Ingram’s $5.211 million, according to ESPN NFL Insider John Clayton, who wrote about the looming fifth-year extensions around the league.

No way we use it on Ingram. Moreno's new contract is $3.3 mill a year I think, and his production last year was much better than Ingram.
Jordan well....duh
