BREAKING NEWS: Phins extend Reshad Jones

Adam Schefter tweet:
Dolphins giving S Reshad Jones a 5-year, $60 million ext that includes $35m gtd, per source.

Jones has made it to only one Pro Bowl...

Miami's numbers on pass defense with and without Jones on the field last year, given that Jones missed 10 games with a torn rotator cuff:

Miami With Jones, Miami Without Jones (2016)Split Cmp Att Cmp% Yds Y/Att TD INT PsRt QBR
With Jones 136 210 64.8% 1420 6.8 9 2 96.3 63.2
Without Jones 232 381 60.9% 2455 6.4 21 14 84.2 57.4

...but it's interesting to see how they improved without him in the lineup in comparison to, say, how the Seahawks fell off without Earl Thomas around.

Jones also got more guaranteed money and a higher percentage of his total salary guaranteed than any other safety on a meaningful second or third contract.

Jones is a good safety being paid like a Hall of Fame-caliber defender. The Dolphins could have paid him $33.8 million or so over the next three years by going year-to-year and keeping Jones for the final season of his current deal before franchising him twice. They locked themselves in for the next three seasons instead. It's hard to see how they saved any money with this deal, and unless Jones hits a new level of play when most safeties are beginning to decline, it's close to impossible to figure Jones will outplay this contract.

although i am surprised their pass defense improved without him.
