Dolphins' Kiko Alonso: Inks three-year extension

Alonso (thumb) signed a four-year, $29 million contract extension with the Dolphins on Tuesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Alonso agreed to a first-round tender with the team earlier in the month but it's no secret the two sides have been trying to reach a long-term deal throughout the offseason. The fifth-year linebacker, who led the Dolphins with 115 tackles last season while adding six tackles for loss, two interceptions and a forced fumble, will now be staying in South Beach through the 2020 season.
