Bobby816 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Someone help me on something. If we trade Darnold... does that team get to decide on his 5th year option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrade Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 When a trade is made, the contract the player is on goes with him including the 5th year option. Since the option may be too expensive for the team acquiring Sam, they may decline the option but negotiate an extension. I am not sure if it has ever happened so there may be some weird CBA rule that only lawyers can decipher regarding this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see the 5th year option is part of the contract so it should transfer in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Same as ERFA and RFA, player's accrued season and contractual date remain unchanged via trade or waive wire. Deadline for 5th year option to be granted or declined is after Draft weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successful players like Mack and Donald got new contract via trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I will be a little embarrassed by the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
