The Miami Dolphins are close to finalizing a multi-year contract extension for center Mike Pouncey, the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel reported Friday.

According to the newspaper, terms were not disclosed by sources, but the deal is believed to be in the neighborhood of the $40 million multi-year contract his twin brother Maurkice Pouncey got from the Pittsburgh Steelers last year.

Pouncey, who was Miami’s 2011 first-round pick, ?is a two-time Pro Bowl selection in his first four seasons.

Last summer, the Dolphins opted into Pouncey’s fifth-year option, which guaranteed him a little over $7 million this season. According to the Sun Sentinel, the multi-year extension would guarantee Pouncey more than $13 million this season.
