Giants shouldn’t exercise 5th-year options of Daniel Jones, Dexter Lawrence

It’s already been nearly three years since the 2019 NFL Draft (sheesh, I’m getting old).

This offseason, the players selected in the first round of that very event (except for DeAndre Baker and Dwayne Haskins, who are already on different teams) will be eligible for 5th-year options on their rookie deals.

The value of that fifth-year salary (which is guaranteed) is different for most players; it’s dependent on various factors, such as position, number of Pro Bowl berths, and amount of playing time.

On Monday, we learned of the official fifth-year salaries for the 2019 first-rounders, should their respective teams decide to exercise the option.
