Overview

  • Sieler agreed Sunday to a three-year extension worth up to $67.75 million, including $44 million guaranteed.
  • The contract grants him an average annual value of $22.5 million, more than doubling his previous rate and setting a franchise record for defensive pay.
  • Since joining Miami off waivers in 2019, the former seventh-round pick has posted back-to-back 10-sack seasons and led the team in quarterback hits and tackles for loss.
  • Sieler’s new deal locks him in as a core piece of the Dolphins’ defensive front through the 2029 season.
  • His rise from Division II walk-on to highest-paid defender underscores Miami’s emphasis on rewarding homegrown talent in its front seven.
