The cost of Jameson Williams’ fifth-year option has been confirmed to be $15.493 million. This amount is calculated based on the average of the third to 25th highest salaries at the wide receiver position over the past five seasons.
The fifth-year option is a provision in the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement that allows teams to exercise an additional year of control over a player’s contract. The option is guaranteed for injury only, meaning that if Williams suffers an injury that prevents him from playing, the Lions would still be responsible for paying him.
It’s worth noting that Williams’ fifth-year option value would have increased to $21.441 million if he had been selected to the Pro Bowl last season. In comparison, teammate Aidan Hutchinson’s fifth-year option value is $19.872 million due to his Pro Bowl selection.
The Lions are likely to pick up Williams’ fifth-year option before the May 1 deadline. After exercising the option, the team may consider a contract extension for Williams this offseason.
