For the first-round picks selected in 2012, the deadline for picking up the fifth-year option arrives on May 3. In Washington, a decision on quarterback Robert Griffin III hasn’t officially been made.
According to Albert Breer of NFL Media, the team is “likely” to pick up Griffin’s option for 2016.
If the option is exercised, Griffin will have a $16.1 million base salary in what would become the fifth and final year of his rookie deal. The payment is guaranteed for injury only until the start of the next league year, at which time it becomes fully guaranteed.
