Dolphins lock down Reshad Jones through 2021 with new deal
Exactly one year before he was set to hit free agency, Dolphins safety Reshad Jones agreed to a four-year contract extension, multiple sources tell the Miami Herald.
The terms: $60 million over the next five years, a sizable bump over the $7 million in base salary he was due in 2017. That’s according to ESPN.
Jones, a Pro Bowler in 2015, missed the final 10 games of the 2016 season after needing labrum surgery. Both the team and player insist that he is healthy, and Thursday’s contract extension reinforced that belief.
Jones has wanted a new contract for the past year. He sat out much of the 2016 offseason program in protest, but later showed up, on time, for training camp.
