Miami Gardens, Florida-Los Miami Dolphins and the defensive Tackle Zach Sieer agreed to an extension of three years on Sunday, his agents told Adam Schefter of ESPN, that makes him the best paid defensive player in the team.
The extension is worth up to $ 67.75 million, $ 44 million of which are guaranteed; The average annual value of $ 22.5 million more than duplicates its current AAV.
Sieer signed an extension of three years and $ 30 million in the summer of 2023. He has registered consecutive seasons of 10 looting for the Dolphins. However, it was the best defensive Tackle best paid in NFL in terms of AAV, just ahead of the rookie Mason Graham of the Cleveland Browns.
Sieer lost the voluntary practices of the OTA of the team, but he was an active participant in a mandatory mini -family and the first 10 days of training camp.
The team captain, Sieer, said that while a new contract was important for him, he was also in the field with his teammates.
“Everyone is their own human. They can handle things as they want,” Sieer said last month. “This is how I choose to handle it, but I hope that the message you present is that, at the end of the day, we are here to play football. Now that is obviously very important to me: the respect and money that my family gets and wins from this game. We give everything on the line every day, and I will continue to do it every day.
“But to be able to go out and work in spite of everything, I think I am trying to show that you can go out and play your best ball and continue working through things without having to compartmentalize things.”
The Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel praised Sieer for continuing to appear through his contract negotiations.
While the team tries to restore a culture of responsibility, McDaniel said that Sieer's efforts have not gone unnoticed.
“I think you defined yourself for your actions, especially in life,” McDaniel said on July 25. “I am very aware that all players have an option in what they do on a day -to -day basis, specifically with Zach, and their actions speak, and I think their teammates are very how they want teammates to play football and I am excited every time I see Zach Sieer.”
A former Walk-on from Ferris State was recruited by the Baltimore Ravens in the seventh round in 2018, but was renounced the following year; The Dolphins claimed him the next day.
After recording nine catches in his first three seasons with Miami, Sieer has led the Dolphins in captures with 10 in each of the last two campaigns.
Since the beginning of the 2023 season, only Baltimore's NNAMDI Madubuike has more Field Mariscal successes than Sieer's 41.
