The Dolphins entered the 2026 offseason embracing change. They hired a brand new head coach and general manager, signed quarterback Malik<\/strong> Willis<\/strong>, and traded star wide receiver Jaylen<\/strong> Waddle<\/strong> to the Broncos.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But Miami has also been focused on keeping the perfect parts of their team intact. They already signed De\u2019Von Achane<\/strong> to a four-year, $64MM extension with rumored interest in recent contracts for All-Pros Jordyn<\/strong> Brooks<\/strong> and Aaron<\/strong> Brewer.<\/p>\n

There was little news on the Brooks front, but Brewer has expressed his desire for a raise via an extension, per NFL Network\u2019s Cameron Wolfe<\/a>. The 28-year-old was not present at OTAs last week attributable to a family obligation, but he was present at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. He participated in practice, indicating he isn’t staging a \u2018hold-in\u2019 to force movement on his contract.<\/p>\n

Still, Brewer made it clear that he believes he ought to be paid significantly greater than his current three-year, $21MM deal. The previous Titan is in the ultimate 12 months of that contract, which is able to pay him slightly below $7MM after a restructure earlier this offseason. That quantity is understandably unacceptable for Brewer, who’s coming off an second-team All-Pro season and just saw Tyler<\/strong> Linderbaum<\/strong> take the middle market to $27MM per 12 months in March.<\/p>\n

Brewer continues to be the Tenth-highest-paid center within the NFL, however the gap between him and a top-five deal at $12MM per 12 months or more was already substantial. Linderbaum\u2019s contract has created a chasm available in the market, and Brewer intends to capitalize on the rising center tide to lift his boat. Similarly-aged and -accomplished veterans like Connor<\/strong> McGovern<\/strong>, Luke<\/strong> Wattenberg<\/strong>, and Tyler<\/strong> Biadasz<\/strong> all received $10MM AAVs or higher throughout the last 12 months, giving Brewer a solid floor for an extension.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins scheduled their minicamp between their second and third sets of OTAs, so Brewer\u2019s attendance next week could possibly be indicative of progress on a deal (or lack thereof).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
