Each first round pick has a team option for their fifth year. The team can accept it, and pay the player a higher salary tied to the salaries of other players at their position, or do nothing, and let the player walk after his fourth season or try and extend him before free agency begins. Teams are forced to make this decision entering a player’s fourth season.
