MIAMI GARDENS - Newly acquired linebacker Bradley Chubb and the Miami Dolphins have agreed on a five-year extension.

The deal could be worth as much as $119 million, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations who said
it includes about $63 million in guaranteed money.

The Dolphins made a trade with Denver earlier this week for Chubb, who had 5-1/2 sacks this season for the Broncos and is a past Pro Bowl pick. They made that deal expecting to get a long-term contract done and it didn't take Dolphins general manager Chris Grier long to finish that task.

"When you do a deal like that for a player, you always would like to," Grier said earlier this week.

Chubb is expected to make his Miami debut on Sunday when the Dolphins visit Chicago.
