The Green Bay Packers announced Sunday that they’ve officially signed veteran OLB Ahmad Brooks to a contract and placed OL Don Barclay on injured reserve.
Brooks reported receives a one-year contract that can be worth up to $5 million.
The Packers really needed some pass rush depth behind Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, and given that Brooks is one of the best available free agents at the position, this looks like a pretty good fit for him.
Brooks, 33, is a former supplemental third-round pick of the Bengals back in 2006.
