There have been a handful of teams picking up the fifth-year option on the contract of 2019 first-round picks this year, and on Thursday it was the Miami Dolphins’ turn.
As should have been expected, particularly since GM Chris Grier indicated as much last month, the Dolphins have picked up the fifth-year option on the contract of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.
The move guarantees Wilkins a salary of just under $10.8 million for the 2023 season, though there’s nothing stopping the Dolphins from signing Wilkins to an extension before then.
