Dolphins, All-Pro LB Jordyn Brooks reach 3-year, $51.3M extension

The Miami Dolphins have secured a cornerstone of their defense. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks signed a three-year, $51.3 million extension, a deal that includes $35 million in guaranteed money. This move locks in a player who established himself as one of the most productive at his position since joining the roster.

Brooks led the NFL in combined tackles last season with 183, earning first-team All-Pro honors. General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan identified Brooks as a core pillar for the organization alongside running back De’Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer. With this agreement, the Dolphins have successfully extended all three players during this offseason.

Despite the ongoing negotiations throughout the spring, Brooks maintained a presence at every team practice. He stated that he wanted to lead by example for his teammates and be present for the work required of him. This professional approach solidified his role as a team captain and a consistent voice within the locker room.

Now entering his prime, the 28-year-old linebacker becomes one of the highest-paid players at his position in terms of both total value and annual earnings. His leadership and production remain central to the plan for the upcoming season. With these key deals finalized, the team heads into training camp without any lingering contract distractions.
