Late last week, the Miami Dolphins and fullback Alec Ingold agreed to a three-year contract extension that runs through the 2026 season. The deal, which is worth up to $17.2 million, makes Ingold the highest-paid fullback in the league and reinforces Miami’s commitment not just to Ingold but to the fullback position as well.

After news broke of the new contract, Ingold met with the media and confirmed the deal came together fairly quickly. “It was right in between meetings and practice,” Ingold explained of how he learned the deal was done. “It was one of those things, I had to call wifey, had to call my parents real quick, let them know something was happening and then go to work.
