From OOTP online manual:

Option Years
There are three types of option years available in player contracts:

Option Description
Team Option The team decides whether to honor the final year of the contract or make the player a free agent.
Player Option The player decides whether to honor the final year of the contract or become a free agent.
Mutual Option Both sides must agree on whether to honor the final year of the contract, or else the player becomes a free agent.
After the last year of a contract preceding an option year, the general manager will receive a message concerning the option year.

If the option year was a player option, the player will inform you whether he has accepted the option year, or whether he will become a free agent.
If the option was a team option, the team will be asked if it wants to accept the option year. You respond using the Respond to Message action menu at the bottom of the Manager News page.
Mutual options are a combination of the previous two options. If the player refuses the option, you will receive the refusal message. If the player accepts, you will receive a message like the one described above. You will then need to decide how to respond, just as if it were a team option.
