Overview

  • Brooks’ agency, One West Sports Group, announced the agreement, which keeps the 26-year-old under contract in Green Bay through the 2027 season.
  • The two-year structure replaces a one-year restricted free agent tender estimated at about $3.52 million, resetting the cost to roughly $2.4 million per year.
  • Brooks’ primary offensive value has been in pass protection, logging 157 passing snaps last season without allowing a sack and yielding only two quarterback hits and three pressures.
  • He was a core special-teams contributor with 247 snaps in 2025 and finished tied for the team lead with 14 tackles, per Pro Football Focus metrics reported by outlets.
  • With Emanuel Wilson not tendered and MarShawn Lloyd still unproven after injuries, Brooks is positioned to compete for a larger role behind starter Josh Jacobs as Green Bay evaluates further additions.
