One day I looked at the boundaries of acceptable offers with and without a team option, and with a contract one year longer and with a team option. I vowed not to offer a team option forever.

A team option is good if you intend to pick it up, but want a possible out in case the player isn't worth it by the time you get there. A team option that you have no intention of picking up doesn't have any value, it is just adding the buyout to the total offer.
