Overview

  • Reports differ on the extension’s total value, with NFL Network Insiders citing $64 million and agent Drew Rosenhaus confirming up to $67.75 million including $44 million guaranteed.
  • Sieler recorded back-to-back 10-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024, becoming the first Dolphins interior lineman to reach double digits in consecutive years since Cameron Wake.
  • Since Miami claimed him off waivers from Baltimore in 2019, he has progressed from a rotational role to team captain and defensive cornerstone.
  • His new pact secures a veteran anchor following departures like Christian Wilkins and additions including Minkah Fitzpatrick and rookie Kenneth Grant.
  • The extension illustrates the Dolphins’ commitment to homegrown defensive talent as they build continuity in a revamped front seven.
