MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins have signed offensive linemen Austin Jackson through the 2026 season, the team announced Thursday.

The extension is worth $36 million and includes $20.7 million in guaranteed money for the team's starting right tackle, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Miami selected Jackson with the 18th pick in the 2020 NFL draft and slotted him in as its starting left tackle. However, the team declined his fifth-year option this past offseason after inconsistent play, multiple position changes and injuries during his first three seasons.

Despite his struggles in his first two seasons, Jackson showed promise during his first training camp under coach Mike McDaniel in 2022 after a move to right tackle.
