- According to Ian Rapoport, the Green Bay Packers have signed free agent edge defender Ahmad Brooks. The deal is for one-year with a base salary of $3.5M, but can get up to five million in incentives. The San Francisco 49ers cut Brooks earlier this week.
- Brooks played eight seasons for the 49ers but following a six-year run of solid play his performance dropped dramatically grading poor in each of the past three seasons (60.0 overall or below). In 2016, he earned an overall grade of 49.5, which ranked 87th out of 110 qualifying edge defenders.
- Brooks was second on the team in pressures last season with 37 but was rather inefficient getting those pressures needing 362 pass-rush snaps to get there. His pass-rush productivity of 7.9 ranked 70th out of 104 qualifying edge defenders.
