Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders received All-Pro honors in 2020. He enters the final year of his contract due to earning $ 920,000 in base salary.
Not surprisingly, the Dolphins hope to keep Sanders for the long haul.
Barry Jackson’s Miami Herald reports that dolphins have expressed interest in an extension to Sanders. Jackson adds that the negotiations still need to be serious.
Sanders, 25, made 36 of 39 field shots, including 8 of 9 over 50 yards. In his three-year career, Sanders made 12 of his 15 field goal attempts of 50 yards or more.
He was also the only kicker who attempted more than 16 extra points without losing in 2020, with Sanders making 36 to 36.
Linebacker Jerome Baker, defensive side Emmanuel Ogbah and tight ends Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe are among those who will enter the last year of their business in 2021.
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, running back Matt Breida, linebackers Elandon Roberts, Kamu Grugier-Hill and Vince Biegel and pivot Ted Karras are among the team’s free agents this year.
