This offseason wasn’t a banner year for the 2020 first-round rookie class.
All told, only a dozen saw their fifth-year option picked up, while Packers quarterback Jordan Love received a one-year, $22 million extension in its place. The rest were all left without a contract moving forward, including notable names such as Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen, Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton.
Looking at next year’s fifth-year option candidates, it’s likely more than 12 will see the full length of their rookie deals, but how many exactly? We take our best guess.
