The Miami Dolphins just made a major splash in the NFL, locking up All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks with a massive three-year, $51.3 million extension. This deal not only shows the team's commitment to Brooks, but also sets a new standard for linebacker contracts in the league. With $35 million guaranteed, this extension is a significant investment in Brooks' future with the Dolphins.
