Dolphins signed LB Jordyn Brooks to a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension.

The deal includes $35 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who first broke the news. Brooks, 28, is coming off a season where he led the league in tackles with 183 and was named a first-team All-Pro. He also hasn’t missed a single game since joining the Dolphins two seasons ago. It’s easy to see why Miami’s new regime identified Brooks as a core piece for them going forward. While the Dolphins roster still carries lots of uncertainty, Brooks has proven to be reliable.
