MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. >> All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and the Miami Dolphins have agreed on a three-year, $72.3 million contract extension, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday.

NFL Network first reported the deal that will pay Ramsey $24.1 million per year and make him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, reached just days after the Denver Broncos signed their star cornerback Patrick Surtain II to a four-year contract extension.

The Dolphins acquired Ramsey in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams last offseason.

Steelers’ Wilson questionable >> The Pittsburgh Steelers thought they settled their quarterback competition when coach Mike Tomlin anointed Russell Wilson the starter for Sunday’s opener in Atlanta.

Turns out, maybe not.

The Steelers listed Wilson as “questionable” for Week 1 after the 35-year-old aggravated a calf injury in practice on Thursday, potentially opening the door for Justin Fields to get the nod against the Falcons.

Steelers reward tight end >> The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of question marks as they begin 2024.

The long-term status of tight end Pat Freiermuth is not one of them.

The team signed Freiermuth to a five-year contract that runs through the 2028 season, giving them some stability at a position that had seen plenty of turnover until they drafted Freiermuth three years ago.

Yankees go with Verdugo >> The New York Yankees have some work to do, general manager Brian Cashman said. At least for now, Jasson Domínguez is going to do his work in the minors.

New York is competing with the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East lead, and the 21-year-old Domínguez is one of the team’s top prospects. But Domínguez is playing for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre while Alex Verdugo remains in left field with the Yankees.
