Option amounts in the fifth year, which was published for Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Linderbaum,

On May 2, the Baltimore Ravens have to decide whether to exercise the possibility of the security of Kyle Hamilton and the center of Tyler Linderbaum from the fifth year of 2022 NFL draft. And earlier on Thursday, the NFL announced how much it will cost to exercise this option.

For Hamilton, who deserves two original team -Pro -Bowls, its amount corresponds to the franchise in its position, and the franchise day is the average of the top -10 salaries in the position. This corresponds $ 18.6 million.

If the Ravens exercised its option and paid him the $ 18.6 million, Hamilton would make it the third highest paid security in the NFL, behind only Tampa Bay Buccaners' Antoine Winfield Jr. ($ 21 million AAV) and Los Angeles Chargers ($ 19 million AAV).

To be honest, it is a little cheaper than what is the long -term way of Hamilton, since it is probably the highest security in the NFL.

Linderbaum also earned two original team per bowl, which means that he would also receive the franchise. Offensive linemes are clearly under a single day. So it is the average of the top -10 center contracts, it is among all offensive linemen. And since Tackles are paid significantly more money than centers, the option of the fifth year (like the franchise day) for Linderbaum would be $ 23.4 million.

This would destroy the middle market and make Linderbaum the highest paid center in NFL history. Currently the top paid center of Kansas City Chiefs' Creed Humphrey ($ 18 million AAV), which increased the center bulk store considerably. The second highest paid center in the NFL is Frank Ragnow from Detroit Lions ($ 13.5 million AAV).

The best possible result will be a long -term deal with both stars on the advance, but the challenges of the cap are high.
