Suddenly lacking for healthy edge rushers, the Green Bay Packers looked outside the organization for help. On Tuesday, the team can to terms with free-agent outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Rapoport reports that the contract is for one year and is worth a maximum of $5 million.
The Packers exited last Saturday’s game against the Denver Broncos with multiple new injuries to their outside linebackers. Nick Perry, who signed a five-year extension during the offseason, left early with an ankle issue.
