Dolphins decline Austin Jackson, Noah Igbinoghene 5th-year options

MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins are declining the fifth-year options for offensive lineman Austin Jackson and cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Jackson and Igbinoghene were two of the Dolphins' three first-round draft picks in 2020, alongside quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, whose option was picked up in March.

Miami traded two key players, Laremy Tunsil and Minkah Fitzpatrick, to acquire two extra first-round picks leading up to the 2020 draft. Both Jackson and Igbinoghene were seen as developmental players at the time and were drafted ahead of Justin Jefferson and Jonathan Taylor, respectively.
