Projecting 2025 5th-Year Option Salaries
![](https://d1dglpr230r57l.cloudfront.net/images/xlarge/USATSI_19475888_168390303_lowres.jpg)
The NFL announced Pro Bowl rosters for the 2023 season, including 9 49ers, 7 Cowboys, 7 Ravens, 6 Eagles, & 6 Dolphins. The list also consists of a few notable pending free agents in WR Mike Evans (TB), ILB Patrick Queen (BAL), RBs Derrick Henry (TEN) & D’Andre Swift (PHI), DTs Chris Jones (KC) & Justin Madubuike (BAL), EDGEs Josh Allen (JAX) & Danielle Hunter (MIN), & CB Jaylon Johnson (CHI).
Since the ratification of the 2020 CBA, NFL 1st Rounder 5th-Year option values have been tied to Pro Bowl selections, so now is the perfect time to dive into the 2021 class. We'll take a run down the entire first round, making note of the player's status in terms of 3-year playing time (see below), any (initial) Pro Bowl selections, & a loose estimate on their 2025 option salary value. All 5th-year options must be decided on by May 2nd, 2024. Per this latest CBA, the salary becomes fully guaranteed as soon as it's exercised.
- TIER 1: A player is selected to two or more Pro Bowls. The 5th-Year Option price is the same as the franchise tag salary at their position from the previous year.
- TIER 2: A player is selected to one Pro Bowl. The 5th-Year Option price is the same amount as the transition tag salary from the previous year.
- TIER 3: A player takes 75% of the team’s offensive or defensive snaps in 2 of their first 3 seasons, OR 50% of the snaps played in each of the 3 seasons, OR a 75% average over all three seasons. The 5th-Year Option price is the 5-year average of the 3rd-20th highest paid players at their position.
- TIER 4: A player does not meet any of the above criteria. The 5th-Year Option price is the 5-year average of the 3rd-25th highest paid players at their position.
