Who's actually going to get their 5th year options exercised by Miami?

Miami has until May 2023 to pick up the 5th year options on the 2020 1st RD picks:

Tua Tagovailoa

Austin Jackson

Noah Igbinoghene

And then May 2024 for the 2021 1st RD picks:

Jaylen Waddle

Jaelan Philips

Sounds like a really good discussion for the off season?

Exactly. So let’s discuss.

I’d pick up on Tua only. Jackson hasn’t shown enough on the field, and injuries riddled what was supposed to be his breakout season to become a competent starter. Igbinoghene wouldn’t be on this roster or any other if not for his FRP status.

Waddle and Phillips are no brainers and we need to be ready to spend big on their extensions. They are cornerstone players present and future.

Wilkins is the big one…. That’s an extension that is overdue. He’s playing himself into more and more guaranteed money.
 
Philips can be a stud with the right coaching. The guys get close to the QB but always overshoot. Get a legitimate defensive coach and you might see a whole different pass rush with Philips and Chubb. I think Philips has a lot of potential.

Waddle is an easy keep obviously.

Austin and Noah can GTFO.

Tua Tagovailoa -Yes (but could see a No and Franchise Tag as needed)

Austin Jackson - No

Noah Igbinoghene - No

And then May 2024 for the 2021 1st RD picks:

Jaylen Waddle - right now Yes.

Jaelan Philips - Right now No.

Jaelan Philips is on the fence for me but probably more expensive to try to replace him at this point so I vote extend. I hope he learns how to finish plays.

Jaylen Waddle - Without a doubt.

Right now I would say No. but getting close. Next year I am guessing takes another step and ask this same question next year and it a yes. But good thing that decision isn’t needed until 24.

We only have to worry about next year right now. So in that list Tua is the only one we should pick up the 5th year option for. F the other two absolutely useLess the pair of them.
