How many team option years does a rookie scale contract typically have?

A rookie scale contract typically has two team option years. In the structure of such contracts, the first four years are guaranteed for the player, while the second and third years are controlled by the team through options. This allows the team flexibility in assessing a player's development and potential before committing long-term. The two option years enable teams to evaluate how well a rookie adapts to the professional level and whether they fit into the immediate plans or long-term vision of the franchise. This feature also reflects the balance in the league between providing opportunities for young players and managing team salary cap while making critical decisions about roster composition.
