The Miami Dolphins and linebacker Jordyn Brooks have agreed to a three-year contract extension, keeping the veteran with the team through the 2029 season. Earlier in the offseason, new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan identified core players he envisioned the Dolphins building around as they reset their roster for the future. With the extension of Brooks, Miami has now reached contract agreements with three of those players, including running back De'Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer.
Brooks' extension and contract details were first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The new extension, which adds the 2027, 2028, and 2029 seasons to Brooks' contract, is worth $51.3 million. It includes $35 million in guarantees. The new money, when it kicks in, will jump Brooks to $17.1 million in average per year, making him the fifth-highest paid linebacker in the league.
Prior to the extension, Brooks was entering the final season of the three-year contact he signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in 2024. He participated in all of the team's offseason training program, including all voluntary events, while working toward the extension.
Since joining Miami, Brooks has locked down the middle of the team's defense. The 28-year-old has started all 34 games for the Dolphins, tallying 326 tackles, 6.5 sacks, nine passes defensed, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries. Last season, how 183 tackles led the league and he earned his first Pro Bowl selection. He was also a First-Team All-Pro selection for the first time in his career.
