The Miami Dolphins put the finishing touches on their final big contract of the offseason this morning, agreeing to terms on a three-year extension for All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

The negotiation lingered throughout the offseason but ultimately wraps a week before the start of training camp. And it will ensure that Brooks plays several more seasons in South Florida. One of his former teammates from his first year in Miami is fired up to see Brooks’ effort rewarded. And, in the process of shouting out Brooks and the team, that same teammate offered the ultimate endorsement.

Jordyn Brooks’ former Miami Dolphins teammate Terron Armstead gives him the ultimate endorsement

“You never see or hear from JB off the field, but I’ll tell you he’s the ultimate pro!! A true franchise centerpiece, that’s all about work and winning!! No distractions, no bs, just class and greatness!! S/o to the Dolphins for taking care of that man!”

— Former Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead

Armstead overlapped with Brooks for just one season in Miami in 2024. That season, which was Armstead’s last and Brooks’ first in Miami, didn’t go the way that anyone had hoped after Miami went 11-6 the year before.

But Armstead knows what NFL greatness looks like. He’s one of the best tackles of his generation of NFL players. And he shared the the field with a number of standout stars, too. Some of Armstead’s best teammates in New Orleans included Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Cameron Jordan, Demario Davis, Max Unger, and Ryan Ramczyk.

He played with De’Von Achane, Aaron Brewer, Tyreek Hill, and others in Miami, too. The man knows what great football players look like. Being called ‘the ultimate pro’ from yet another ‘ultimate pro’ is as good of an endorsement as you can get.

There was little doubt on whether or not paying Brooks was a good idea this offseason while it lingered on the table. But now the deed is done — and Armstead seems to be as glad to see it as the rest of us.
