The Green Bay Packers are doing something unusual today: they are hosting a notable free agent late in training camp for a visit. The player is Ahmad Brooks, a 3-4 outside linebacker who has had a productive and steady career for the San Francisco 49ers.
Brooks has the potential to come in and help solidify the Packers’ depth concerns on the edge, which went up to eleven following injuries to both starters, Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, in last Saturday’s preseason game. As a starter for the past six years in San Francisco, Brooks has recorded between 6 and 8.
