What happened: The Miami Dolphins and center Aaron Brewer reached an agreement on a three-year, $52.5 million contract extension on Wednesday. The deal includes $37 million in total guarantees and secures the anchor of Miami's offensive line through the 2028 season.
Why it matters: Brewer’s extension follows a 2025 Second-Team All-Pro campaign where he emerged as a vital pillar for the Dolphins' high-powered offense. By rewarding one of their most consistent performers, Miami's front office continues a trend of retaining core veteran talent ahead of the 2026 season.
By the numbers: Aaron Brewer Extension: 3 years, $52.5M total; $17.5M AAV (3rd among NFL centers); $37M guaranteed. Previous 2024 contract: 3 years, $21M ($7M AAV).
What to watch: The Dolphins will now turn their attention to securing a long-term deal for linebacker Jordyn Brooks as mandatory minicamps continue.
