The Miami Dolphins don’t have many good players on their roster but the ones they do are getting paid.
On Tuesday, the Dolphins and linebacker Jordyn Brooks agreed to a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension that includes $35 million guaranteed ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
Brooks joins running back De’Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer as guys the Dolphins’ new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan have locked up to long term extensions this offseason.
Brooks is now the sixth-highest-paid inside linebacker in the NFL in terms of total contract value and average annual value.
Brooks, 28, signed a three-year contract with the Dolphins in 2024 after spending the first four years of his career with the Seattle Seahawks. Over the past two seasons, he has recorded more tackles than any other NFL player. Last season, he led the NFL in combined tackles (183) and solo tackles (99) and was named a first-team All-Pro for the first time in his career.
Beyond his production on the field, Brooks is considered a strong voice in the Dolphins’ locker room. He was a team captain in 2025, a mainstay in postgame media availability, win or lose, and earned the team’s Don Shula Leadership Award last season.
