One of the Miami Dolphins’ best defensive players is sticking around for the long haul. <\/p>\n
Defensive tackle Zach Sieler has reportedly signed a three-year, $67.75-million extesnion to stay in Miami, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. <\/p>\n
The contract includes $44 million guaranteed. He now becomes the Dolphins’ highest-paid defensive player.<\/p>\n
According to Schefter, prior to signing the new deal, Sieler had two years remaining on his deal and was set to hit free agency following the 2026 season. He is now under contract through the 2029 season.<\/p>\n
Sieler, 29, has been with the Dolphins since 2019 after being waived by the Baltimore Ravens in that same season. <\/p>\n
He has seen his production go up a notch since shifting toward the interior of the defensive line in 2023, tallying 10 sacks in each of the last two seasons. He has also grabbed an interception and a forced fumble in each of the last two campaigns, while notching at least 11 tackles for loss. <\/p>\n
Over his seven-year career, the former Ferris State University product has 30 sacks, five forced fumbles and 49 tackles for loss. <\/p>\n
The Howell, Mich., native was named a captain for the 2024 season alongside fellow defensive lineman Calais Campbell, among others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the Miami Dolphins’ best defensive players is sticking around for the long haul.
