Okay, so right now the price is 10.14 and the strike price is 22.5. So exercising the option would be 12.36. The market value is 14.05. 
  
 So i would be hoping that the price drops to make up for the time decay if i were to plan to exercise it? 
  
 Can you exercise an option before expiry? Im not seeing that on robinhood.

No you can't exercise before the end of the contract (with American options trading).  
  
 The market thinks it will keep dropping so they're willing to pay more than the current value for your option.
