MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins and veteran center Aaron Brewer have agreed to a three-year contract extension, a person familiar with the deal said Wednesday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins had not announced the extension or financial details.
Brewer's deal is worth $52.5 million with $37 million guaranteed, per Spotrac.com. According to the website, Brewer's average salary of $17.5 million through 2029 makes him the third-highest-paid center in the NFL behind Las Vegas' Tyler Linderbaum ($27 million) and Kansas City's Creed Humphrey ($18 million).
Brewer, an undrafted free agent out of Texas State in 2020, has started 33 games for Miami over the past two seasons and earned second-team All-Pro honors last season. He was also a finalist for the NFL’s inaugural Protector of the Year award given to the league’s best offensive lineman.
He was in the final year of his deal and was set to make $1.22 million in 2026.
ESPN first reported the extension.
Brewer, 28, played his first four NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans before signing with Miami in 2024.
A captain and respected veteran in Miami's young locker room, he participated in the Dolphins' offseason program despite contract negotiations.
“I know one way to go about things and that’s work and keep my head down and keep doing that,” Brewer said during minicamp. “So that’s what I come out here and do every day, lead the guys. I hope to be here for the long run, so I’m trying to pour everything in me into everyone around me and make us the best team we can be.”
The Dolphins recently signed Pro Bowl running back De’Von Achane to a four-year contract extension worth $64 million, and they are expected to get a deal done with veteran linebacker Jordyn Brooks during the offseason.

TORONTO (AP) — The New York Yankees put outfielder Trent Grisham on the 10-day injured list Saturday because of a strained right hamstring and activated outfielder Jasson Domínguez off the IL.
Also Saturday, manager Aaron Boone said rehabbing slugger Giancarlo Stanton felt soreness in his right calf while running the bases earlier this week, potentially delaying his return.
“I expected him back early on this homestand,” Boone said of a six-game stretch against the White Sox and Reds that begins Monday in the Bronx. “That’s in jeopardy now.”
Stanton has been sidelined since April 24, after he experienced stiffness while running the bases against Houston. Boone said Stanton is still rehabbing, and may undergo imaging.
Grisham left Friday’s 8-5 loss in the sixth inning. He was able to do some light jogging on the field before Saturday’s game at Toronto but will likely get imaging when the Yankees return home Monday.
“Hopefully it’s something that’s not a long-term thing, but we felt like the 10 days was probably necessary,” Boone said.
Grisham is batting .232 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs. He was hurt running the bases after a two-RBI hit Friday. The two-time Gold Glove Award winner has hit safely in 14 consecutive games and 16 of his past 19.
Grisham joins Stanton, slugger Aaron Judge (right rib), catcher Austin Wells (cervical headaches) and pitcher Max Fried (elbow) on New York’s injured list.
“There’s no getting around it, we’ve lost some key people,” Boone said. “The one thing is, I feel we’re way more equipped to deal with it than we have in some years.”
Domínguez has been out since injuring his left shoulder when he crashed into Yankee Stadium’s outfield wall in a May 7 win over Texas. He went 1 for 4 with a homer at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
Domínguez was in the lineup on Saturday, starting in right field after missing 30 games and batting second.
