Miami Dolphins’ cornerback, Bobby McCain, is getting rewarded for his good performance in the past couple of seasons. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins have signed McCain to a four-year, $27 million extension which will see the 24-year-old becoming one of the league’s highest-paid slot corners. Sources close to the Dolphins say the deal includes $16 million guaranteed.
Bobby McCain had a strong showing in 2017, being featured in all 16 games of the season and recording 48 tackles, 1.0 sacks, and 2 interceptions. He was even publicly praised by Dolphins coach Adam Gase, who called McCain one of the team’s leaders.
“I don’t know why everybody always wants to replace Bobby, but all he does is just consistently play probably better than everybody else,”- said Gase back in April. “He’s one of our guys that’s probably one of our top leaders that we have in our locker room. He’s a guy that we’ve counted on for two years and he just keeps getting better.“
After playing college football for four years at the University of Memphis, Bobby McCain entered the 2015 NFL Draft, where the Dolphins selected him in the fifth round with the 145th overall pick. His overall career stats in NFL include 121 tackles, 17 pass deflections, and 3 interceptions.
