With players chosen in the 2023 NFL Draft having finished their third regular season, it's decision time on fifth-year options for the class' first-rounders.
All drafted rookies are given four-year contracts to begin their careers -- and teams have the option to extend that pact for a fifth year with players selected in Round 1.
The fifth-year option window for the Class of 2023 opened Jan. 5, with the final deadline set for May 1.
