Chubb was acquired by the Miami Dolphins from the Denver Broncos. The cornerstone of their defense will be the 26 year-old.
The Dolphins and Chubb agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $119 million, with $61.2 million guaranteed, according to a new report. The deal will keep him in South Beach for at least the next ten years.
After failing to agree to a long-term extension with the Broncos, the No. 5 overall pick played the 2022 season on the fifth year of his contract.
Miami hopes Chubb will make a difference on the defensive line. In eight games this season, he has 26 tackles, six sacks and two forced turnovers.
The 2020 Pro Bowler is an edge-rusher. He had 60 total tackles, 12.0 sacks and 19 tackles for loss in his first season. He established a level of production in his first year that has been hampered by injuries.
Chubb was limited to four games due to an injured knee. He missed the start of the 2021 season after having ankle surgery and only played in seven games that year.
Miami did the right thing by locking him up for the next five years because he was able to wreak havoc on opposing offenses when healthy.
