The 5th year option for a player picked from 11-32 is an average of the top 3rd-25th highest paid players at that position.
For C, a 5th year option would come out to be $5.83 mill, which would be just above what the 16th highest paid C (JC Tretter) makes.
With C salaries continually on the rise, that 5th year option is just going to continue to grow, so if Mike Brown has such a concern with paying C a decent amount, that 5th year option could still be too pricey for his liking.
Its possible boy...but if he turns into a good playa then it's a good value.
