Official: Washington exercises Montez Sweat’s 5th year option

Update: Sweat is getting a little more money next season:

Clarification: Montez Sweat’s 5th-year option is expected to be ~$11.5M, not $10.9M.

When Washington drafted Sweat, it played a 3-4 defense and he was listed as an EDGE (LB). Now, in the 4-3, he’s an EDGE (DE), which bumps up his compensation. https://t.co/lTgGxwSGUz— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) April 27, 2022
