Dolphins, C Brewer reach 3-year, $52.5M deal
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
Center Aaron Brewer and the Miami Dolphins reached agreement Wednesday on a three-year, $52.5 million extension that includes $37 million guaranteed, his agent, Kyle Mc Carthy of Athletes First, told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
With an average annual salary of $17.5 million, the deal makes Brewer the third-highest paid center in the NFL, behind the Las Vegas Raiders' Tyler Linderbaum ($27 million) and the Kansas City Chiefs' Creed Humphrey ($18 million).
Brewer, who was undrafted out of Texas State in 2020, earned second-team All-Pro honors last season, playing a key role in helping running back De'Von Achane rush for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns while leading the league in yards per carry (5.7).
