According to the 2020 CBA, how long are drafted rookie contracts?

Drafted rookie contracts in the NFL are structured to last for a duration of four years. This duration allows teams to retain the rights to a drafted player for a longer initial period while also providing a set framework for rookie salaries. The four-year term is standard for all drafted players, although there is a provision for a fifth-year option on first-round picks that allows teams to extend their contracts for an additional year at a predetermined salary. This structure aims to balance the interests of both teams and players, providing teams with time to evaluate talent while offering players the opportunity to earn a contract extension based on their performance.
