Pro Football Rumors
The Dolphins have managed to take care of their final major piece of financial business ahead of training camp. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks has a new deal in place.
Team and player have agreed to a three-year extension, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. The pact is worth $51.3MM and includes $35MM in guarantees. Brooks will no longer be a pending free agent, as this agreement will keep him on the books with Miami through 2029.
The 2026 offseason – general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan‘s first in charge – has largely been marked by major roster turnover at the onset of a rebuild. A few key players have received big-money commitments from Miami’s new regime, though. Running back De’Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer in particular were long known to be extension priorities. They each agreed to new contracts, and Brooks has now done the same.
Recent indications suggested Brooks was not looking to reset the top of the market in terms of linebacker compensation on an annual basis. With an AAV of $17.1MM, this pact slots just ahead of Zack Baun ($17MM) and below Azeez Al-Shaair ($18MM) for fourth at the position. Expectations will remain high for sustained high-end production in Brooks’ case ahead of his age-29 season and beyond.
