No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett has lived up to his predraft hype with 30.5 sacks in his first three seasons. The other picks in the top five have not. It’s no secret Mitchell Trubisky has been a disappointment in Chicago. To the Bears’ credit, they reportedly will decline his $24.8 million option for 2021 and thus avoid overpaying him.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Chiefs will be getting a steal by picking up Patrick Mahomes’ $24.8 million 2021 option.
Cardinals linebacker Haason Reddick and Colts safety Malik Hooker were the last two players waiting to find out whether their options were picked up. Both options were declined, setting up Reddick and Hooker for free agency in 2021.
