The NFL Draft has come to a close, yet many franchises had to make altering decisions with high draft picks from several years ago. Monday was the deadline for fifth-year player options for 2019 first-round draft picks. Teams had the option to exercise or decline them.
If the option is picked up, those players will be under contract with a fully-guaranteed salary for the 2023 season. A declined option signifies that a player will likely be a free agent after the 2022 season, although that isn't always the case. Some players with declined options land long-term deals with the franchise that drafted them.
Here's a look at the players who had their options picked up -- and those who didn't -- by Monday's deadline.
