Overview

  • The Dolphins agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $67.75 million with $44 million in guarantees, locking Sieler through the 2029 season.
  • Sieler is the only interior defensive lineman in the NFL to post consecutive 10-sack campaigns in 2023 and 2024.
  • Originally a seventh-round pick from Division-II Ferris State, he overcame two Ravens waivers in 2019 to become a cornerstone of Miami’s defense.
  • Miami reshaped its defensive line after trading Christian Wilkins and adding veteran Calais Campbell alongside first-round pick Kenneth Grant.
  • The deal underscores general manager Chris Grier’s strategy of investing in interior pass-rush talent under agent Drew Rosenhaus’s guidance.
