MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins and defensive tackle Zach Sieler agreed to a three-year extension Sunday, his agents told ESPN's Adam Schefter, that makes him the team's highest-paid defensive player.
The extension is worth up to $67.75 million, $44 million of which is guaranteed; the $22.5 million average annual value more than doubles his current AAV.
Sieler signed a three-year, $30 million extension in the summer of 2023, and has recorded back-to-back 10-sack seasons for the Dolphins. However, he was the NFL's 29th highest-paid defensive tackle in terms of average annual value, just ahead of Cleveland Browns rookie Mason Graham.
