Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Bradley Beal is very likely to decline the player option for the next year and re-sign with the Washington Wizards on a five-year deal worth a projected $248 million, which would end by the time Beal is 33 years old.

Beal has a $36.4 million player option for the next season. If the Wizards' guard decides to decline and lands an agreement for re-signing with the franchise, potentially his next year's salary will increase to the projected max of $42.7 million.

3-time NBA All-Star Beal has spent his entire career with the Wizards, which drafted him with the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 draft.

Last season Wizards' star averaged 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game, but suited up only for 40 games as he had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist in February.
