Overview

  • Brooks’ agents at One West Sports Group announced on March 4 that he agreed to a two-year, $4.85 million contract with Green Bay.
  • The deal keeps Brooks from hitting restricted free agency when the NFL’s new league year begins on March 11.
  • Retaining him as an RFA would have required a minimum one-year, $3.52 million tender; his new contract averages about $2.4 million per season.
  • Brooks contributed primarily on third downs and special teams in 2025, allowing no sacks on 157 pass-protection snaps and logging 247 special-teams snaps with a team-high 14 tackles.
  • Green Bay’s move addresses depth after declining to tender Emanuel Wilson, with Brooks joining a backfield led by Josh Jacobs alongside MarShawn Lloyd.
