MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Jordyn Brooks has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Miami Dolphins, ensuring the veteran linebacker remains a core piece of the team\u2019s rebuild, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hadn\u2019t made an announcement. ESPN first reported the deal, which said it is worth $51.3 million with $35 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Brooks was an All-Pro selection for the first time in his career last season after leading the NFL with 183 tackles, including 99 solo tackles. He was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season that saw general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel fired.<\/p>\n
New GM Jon-Eric Sullivan has said the Dolphins wanted to keep Brooks long term.<\/p>\n
Brooks, a 2020 first-round pick by Seattle, signed with Miami in free agency ahead of the 2024 season and has become a leader in the locker room. He has 326 tackles and 6 1\/2 sacks over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
Including Brooks, the Dolphins have signed three core players as they begin their rebuild.<\/p>\n
Miami signed star running back De\u2019Von Achane to a four-year, $64 million extension in March and gave veteran center Aaron Brewer a three-year deal worth $52.5 million in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
