He is under contract for next season and the Jets do have a 5th year option on Lee for 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/jets\/2018\/12\/darron-lee-suspended-4-games-substance-abuse-what-it-mean-for-his-future-jets-defense.html\">From Daryl Slater on NJ.com:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Teams generally pick up the fifth-year option for most first-round picks, since it is a relatively low-risk move. But Lee might have hurt his chances with this suspension. Plus, it\u2019s not like he\u2019s a great player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">The entire value of Lee\u2019s four-year rookie contract ($10.221 million) was fully guaranteed. But now, this suspension triggers void language in the deal. So Lee\u2019s salary for 2019 ($1.843 million) is no longer guaranteed, which could let the Jets cut Lee. If he remains with them next season, his salary cap figure would be $3.252 million \u2014 his salary plus his prorated signing bonus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Lee\u2019s prorated signing bonus cap hit for 2019 is $1.408 million. And the Jets are stuck with most (if not all) of that figure as a dead money cap hit if they cut Lee, regardless of this suspension.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Visit our forums to read more about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/141438-lee-suspended\/\">Darron Lee&#8217;s suspension<\/a><\/strong> and see fan reaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news doesn&#8217;t seem to get any better these days for the New York Jets.
