The other two pillars — running back De’Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer — received contract extensions in May and June, respectively, leaving Brooks as the last to secure for the long haul. Miami accomplished that goal on Tuesday, signing Brooks through his age-32 season of 2029 at an average annual rate that lands him fifth on the linebacker salary scale, slotted between Philadelphia’s Zack Baun and Houston’s Azeez Al-Shaair.
Brooks’ extension is the second deal he’s signed with Miami, following up a three-year, $26.5 million deal that lured him from Seattle to South Florida in 2024. Despite the struggles endured by the club since his arrival, Brooks’ extension exemplifies his importance to Miami’s intended turnaround.
