Miami Dolphins and LB Jordyn Brooks have agreed to a 3-yr $51.3 million extension with $35m guaranteed, per @ErikBurkhar Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Erik Burkhardt of Roc Nation Sports finalized the contract Tuesday. The agreement keeps the linebacker in Miami through the 2029 season.

Why it matters: Securing the defensive anchor ensures continuity for the unit entering the 2026 season. It also confirms earlier reports that Brooks prioritized a swift resolution over attempting to reset the positional market.

By the numbers: Brooks earned First-team All-Pro honors in 2025 after leading the NFL with 183 total tackles across 17 starts. He added 99 solo stops, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.

What to watch: The Dolphins open training camp this week with their top tackler locked into a long-term deal.
