Miami Dolphins Secure Center Aaron Brewer with $52.5M Extension, Strengthening Core for Future Challenges
June 10, 2026
The contract was restructured earlier in the offseason to create cap space, with Bradley Chubb’s cap savings arriving on June 1.
The deal aligns with general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan’s plan to secure core players, following De’Von Achane’s four-year extension and leaving Jordyn Brooks as the remaining offseason extension target.
The extension comes after Post-June 1st reinforcements helped relieve salary cap logjams, enabling the deal to be finalized.
The article notes writer C. Isaiah Smalls II and his background with the Miami Herald, ESPN’s Andscape, and The 44 Percent newsletter.
Brewer has been pivotal in Miami’s zone rushing scheme, aiding the development of running back De’Von Achane and the overall offense.
Brewer’s extension is part of broader roster management, with other linemen evaluations and training camp plans as the team transitions to a new era.
Brewer, undrafted in 2020, joined the Titans as a free agent, became a starter by 2022, and started 34 games across his last two seasons with Tennessee.
The Miami Dolphins signed center Aaron Brewer to a three-year, 52.5 million extension with 37 million guaranteed, making him one of the top-paid centers in the NFL.
Brewer emphasized hard work and leadership, signaling commitment to the Dolphins long term and helping the group perform at its best.
ESPN was the first to report the extension.
The Dolphins appear to prioritize continuity among core young players to guide the rebuild, with 2026 expected to be challenging but focused on emerging talent and veteran leadership.
Adam Schefter publicly announced the extension on June 10, 2026, via social media.
