The Miami Dolphins signed safety T.J. McDonald to a four-year, $24 million extension, a source tells ESPN. McDonald will received $10 million in guarantees with the new deal.
McDonald signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins in the spring despite being hit with an eight-game suspension for violating the NFL substance abuse policy. The suspension begins this week.
But the Dolphins were so impressed with McDonald's play in training camp and the preseason and how he handled the suspension that the team wanted to keep him in Miami long term to pair with former Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones.
