We pretty much knew this was happening two years ago. 2020 draft was bad not just for Miami but for the entire league as a whole, I’m talking the 1st rd.

This is the opposite of shocking.
Hey, they have a year to prove themselves, or hasta la bamba.

We need better LB's
Addition by subtraction... this coming offseason.
Wild they have faith in Jackson to solidify Tua's blind side but don't exercise his 5th year option. Something isn't computing here.
Only 30% of players who are drafted in the first round end up signing a second contract with the team that drafted them.
So it’s actually a bigger surprise when the option is picked up than when it isn’t.

The reality is comparable players can be attained cheaper on the open market than what the option would be. I could actually see AJ coming back if he has a good year. Just not for big $.
His cap hit in 2023 is just over $4 million. Picking up his option for 2024 would have been over $14 million.
After three years he still hasn’t developed into the Tackle they hoped he would but they can always sign him to a new contract or even franchise him next year if he has a solid season in 2023.
I think Iggy gets cut before the season starts. He's just warm camp body for now.

It seems like a lot of first rounders from 2020 are not getting their options picked up. Really bad draft?
I agree. They could bring him back but there was no way they'd guarantee him all that money when he hasn’t proven that he can stay healthy and really when he has played, he's pretty much been average......as for Iggy, the writing has been on the wall for some time now
