Field Yates of ESPN reports that the Dolphins recently LB Jordyn Brooks for some additional cap space to work with.
Yates notes that Miami converted Brooks’ base salary into a signing bonus, which freed up $3 million of salary cap space for this season.
Brooks, 28, was a four-year starter at Texas Tech and earned second-team All-American honors before the Seahawks selected him at No. 27 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Brooks played out the final year of his four-year, $12,235,606 rookie contract that includes a $6,458,623 signing bonus after the Seahawks declined his fifth-year option for the 2024 season.
From there, Brooks joined the Dolphins on a three-year, $30 million contract in 2024.
In 2025, Brooks has appeared in seven games for the Dolphins and recorded 75 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
