The Facts: The Dolphins announced they have exercise their option on Parker‘s contract. The option, which is guaranteed against injury only, will come with a salary somewhere north of $9 million.

Diehards Line: If Parker plays out the year under the option, it will set the Dolphins up to make another call on the long-term future of one of their wide receivers. They used the franchise tag on Jarvis Landry this offseason, but wound up trading him to the Browns rather than keep him in Miami. Landry later signed a five-year extension worth up to $75 million in Cleveland. As PFT notes, Parker hasn’t matched the kind of production that Landry had during his time in Miami. Annual doses of offseason optimism about what Parker can do haven’t stopped him from missing time with injuries and his 139 catches for 1,908 yards and eight touchdowns had him firmly in a complementary role for Landry the last few years. We'll see if he can get on track this season.
