"When the Dolphins were battling culture problems in 2024, and when they were struggling to find leadership and high-quality play in 2025, two players rose to meet the challenge - center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks. The Dolphins should extend both of their contracts as soon as possible. They are both in the final year of their contracts and are necessary personnel for the Dolphins' rebuild."
"But Brooks, the six-year veteran and 2025 first-team All Pro, and Brewer, the six-year veteran and 2025 second-team All Pro, are prototypes for what the Dolphins need. By the way, allow me to qualify the statement about extending their contracts. The Dolphins need to extend both of their contracts, if that's what Brewer and Brooks desire. The Dolphins are clearly undergoing a rebuild. We knew nine months ago that 2026 would be a rebuilding year."
Aaron Brewer and Jordyn Brooks emerged as leaders during the Dolphins' culture problems in 2024 and leadership gap in 2025, providing intensity and high-level play. Both are six-year veterans, in the final year of their contracts, and earned All-Pro honors in 2025 (Brooks first-team; Brewer second-team). The Dolphins should offer multi-year contract extensions if the players desire security despite a known 2026 rebuild that may produce less-than-ideal offers. Brooks led the league with 183 tackles in 2025. Brewer played every offensive snap in 2024 and 916 snaps in 16 games in 2025. Both set tone with toughness and trench play.
