Baltimore not giving Tyler Linderbaum his 5th yr option

[Hawkinaz]

Ravens are presently $11.4 million under the cap it is not surprising that the Ravens did not exercise the option since his O line number is $23.4 million. It’s something to keep an eye on I am sure the Ravens will try to negotiate a contract

Eagles Cam Jurgens earlier this month signed a 4 year $68 million contract that should be the starting point. I am assuming that Linderbaum’s tag is higher than Cross’s due to his 2 Pro Bowl selections that gets factored into the formula

Never heard about this pro bowl thing. Interesting.

I hadn’t either until I read the article on the Linderbaum 5th year tag it goes under the category of “ Awards”. The way I see it it’s extra credit in determining your value

There's 4 tiers to what your 5th year option cap hit would be.

1) Basic: Players who do not meet any of the requirements below will be eligible for a fifth year base salary calculated from the average of the 3rd to 25th highest salaries at their position over the past five seasons.

2) Playtime: These players will be eligible for a fifth year base salary calculated from the average of the 3rd to 20th highest salaries at their position over the past five seasons, provided that their snap counts over their first three seasons meet one of the following three criteria:

• 75% or greater in two of their first three seasons
• an average of 75% or greater over all three seasons
• 50% or greater over all three seasons

3) One Pro Bowl: Players who are named to exactly one Pro Bowl on the original ballot (not as an alternate) will be eligible for a fifth year base salary equal to the transition tender at their position.

4) Multiple Pro Bowls: Players who are named to two or three Pro Bowls on the original ballot (not as an alternate) will be eligible for a fifth year base salary equal to the franchise tender at their position.

Yes, for example, Aiden Hutchinson lost $4 million off his 5th year option because his injury preveted him from getting his second Pro Bowl selection.
