MIAMI, July 21 (UPI) -- The Miami Dolphins and All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract extension, a league source told UPI on Monday.

The pact includes $35 million in guarantees. Brooks, 28, led the NFL with 183 combined tackles and 99 solo takedowns in 2025.

The six-year veteran joined the Dolphins with a three-year, $26.2 million deal in 2024, which Brooks and Miami restructured last year.

He was set to play on the final year of that agreement. He will now be the fifth highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the NFL.
