Miller’s new contract extension is a four-year deal worth over $16.25 million, according to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports.

This agreement appears to be similar to the deal signed by Dolphins DT Earl Mitchell, who received a four-year contract worth $16 million and included $5 million in full guarantees, according to OverTheCap.com.
