From a players perspective, the fifth year option is irrelevant as far as details go because it gets renegotiated. It still exists but all of the payment details get changed so they get their money starting immediately, but the cap hit is pushed down the road. I could still be misunderstanding something, but this feels better than just saying it is voided.
The remaining years on a contract are restructured when they extend players. Alot of the time they convert some of the 5th year option money to part of the signing bonus.
