The NFL announced the projected fifth-year option figures in February. How much players receive on their option depends on their playing time and the number of Pro Bowl nods they've received in their first three NFL seasons.
All players will know by Friday whether their option has been picked up. The NFL requires teams to inform their first-round draft picks of their decision in writing by the end of the day.
