Today I want to go over what we can expect when it comes to Brandon Aiyuk, & Javon Kinlaw\u2019s 5th<\/sup>-year options, salary wise.<\/p>\n

OverTheCap.com<\/a>, which does a great job of not just tracking all 32 teams, they also do such things as project the rookie pool, and 5th<\/sup>-year options, and they\u2019ve updated that page to reflect the 2020 draft class, so let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n

Before we go into the numbers, let\u2019s look at the different tiers for players.<\/p>\n

Basic: For this tier, the player would not meet any of the other tier requirements, which would then give the player an average of the 3rd<\/sup> to 25th<\/sup> highest salaries at their position over the past 5 seasons.<\/p>\n

Playtime: This is where a player must player in either 75% or great in 2 of their first 3 seasons, or have an average of 75% or greater over his first 3 seasons, or have played 50% or greater over all 3 seasons, and this is calculated as the 3rd<\/sup> to 20th<\/sup> highest salaries for their position.<\/p>\n

One Pro Bowl: This is obvious, for a player who makes one Pro Bowl, they get the equivalent of the transition tag amount, position wise, but this would be calculated as the transition tag for the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

Multiple Pro Bowls: Again, obvious as a player who gets elected to more than 1 Pro Bowl will get the franchise tag amount, again based on the 2023 seasons tag numbers.<\/p>\n

One last thing, for the Pro Bowl berth, it has to be on on the original ballot, not as an alternate taking someone else\u2019s spot.<\/p>\n

Ok, now let\u2019s go over the numbers for Aiyuk, & Kinlaw.<\/p>\n

Per OverTheCap, Brandon Aiyuk would get the following.<\/p>\n

Basic: $12.278 million<\/p>\n

Playtime: $13.594 million<\/p>\n

1 Pro Bowl: $17.465 million<\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t eligible for the multiple Pro Bowl tier, as he\u2019s yet to make a Pro Bowl, and he needs to make multiple Pro Bowls over the first 3 seasons, which will also disqualify Kinlaw.<\/p>\n

Now, Javon Kinlaw would get the following, per OverTheCap.<\/p>\n

Basic: $9.673 million<\/p>\n

Playtime: $11.151 million<\/p>\n

1 Pro Bowl: $14.752 million<\/p>\n

Now, how likely is it for Kinlaw to get to the Pro Bowl this year? Well probably unlikely, he\u2019d have to have a bigger year than people are hoping for.<\/p>\n

As for Aiyuk, I\u2019d say it\u2019s possible, but more likely he\u2019ll get robbed if he has a great season.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s look at the playtime factor for each player.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk played 66.5% of the 49ers\u2019 offensive snaps in 2020, & 83.0% in 2021, so if he plays 75% or more, he should get the playtime option number, which is again $13.594 million.<\/p>\n

As for Kinlaw, he has played 52.7% of the 49ers\u2019 defensive snaps in 2020, & just 13.7% in 2021, so it\u2019s unlikely he\u2019d get the playtime, unless he somehow plays more than 83.6% of the snaps, which could happen, but probably won\u2019t with how much the team likes to rotate their defensive lineman, but if he does, I think the 49ers fans will be very happy, as it would mean Kinlaw is producing, and is staying healthy.<\/p>\n

So, when it comes time, I expect the 49ers to exercise both Aiyuk, & Kinlaw\u2019s options next offseason, which would fully guarantee them for 2024.<\/p>\n
