At a decent salary, yes. Depth at OLB/DE would be great if Jarvis Jones can't play.

He can't.

He should be on a plane to ATL.

After watching the Falcons game, Brooks should be signed immediately. Wheeler was horrible. Bynes looks inept in pass coverage. Brooks is the best option available.

Brook is an OLB; and you have to consider that neither Byrnes nor Wheeler will likely play much.

This is unexpected: Free agent LB Ahmad Brooks has his first visit set and it's to the #Packers, source said. #Broncos also have interest

When Brooks was with Cincy he play inside for 5 games and looked fine. At 259 he should be able to hold up. His flexibility to play in and out is a major asset.

And why are we confusing inside and outside linebackers?

Former #49ers LB Ahmad Brooks is flying into Green Bay today for his free agent visit tomorrow, source said. #Packers can keep him there.

I don't ever remember seeing him play inside with SF and His cincy days were a long time ago
You're right he didn't play inside at SF. With his size and quickness he's fine shedding blockers, filling the holes and dropping back in coverage. He would also be fine blitzing in the Cards' scheme. Most outside guys, if big enough, can play inside. You just need a bigger guy alongside Buc.

I wonder Harry whether Brooks would want to play inside. At this point in his career he may just want to be an edge pass rush specialist. Looks like the Packers are going to sign him for that role.
Brooks is a quirky guy. He hasn't always endeared himself to his coaches. I wonder what Phll Dawson, Antoine Bethea and Blaine Gabbert would say about him.

The #Packers are signing LB Ahmad Brooks to a 1-year deal that can be worth up to $5M, source said. Another(!) GB free agent signing coming.

Back to new #Packers LB Ahmad Brooks: He was to make $4.5M with #49ers. Gets $3.5M base in August from #Packers…. with a chance to make $5M.

I like the Packers signing of Brooks--now that have three outside rushers for the two spots. Brooks can still power weak tackles back
