The Miami Dolphins have a lot of key players in the final years of their deals who they’ll need to make decisions on in the coming months, and they’ve started doing so early.
On Thursday morning, the Dolphins agreed to a three-year contract extension with right tackle Austin Jackson that will pay him $36 million and $20.7 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Miami decided not to pick up Jackson’s fifth-year option this past offseason, and the right tackle has played very well since.
With the chance to make up to $39 million over the next three seasons, Jackson will be protecting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s blindside for years to come.
