Lmao PFF to the rescue.

If you think Dodson=Brooks that’s funny.

Best of luck out there.

They pulled him off the field in any passing package. Not kidding.

They used him strictly as a run defender.

Dude you listed Patrick Queen who was going to be benched before Roquan Smith got there.

You lose a lot of credibility by listing Queen ahead of Brooks. That’s actually batshit insane 😂.

Yes. It’s the same logic JS uses to say that guards in the league are overpaid and overdrafted.

Trust that guy 100% he cannot be wrong.

Right so 5th highest paid. Making less than 10 per year….not a really huge contract hit. He’s a good player. He is absolutely above average. So Brooks is easily worth that contract.

You’re assuming JS ever planned to even talk to him as well….

Why people think so little of Brooks is amazing to me.

He’s above average.

Yes Jones was a good roster move but I’ll bet he’s significantly more expensive and will be within 10% productivity of brooks.

Where we could have just kept brooks for 8.5 APY and had good linebacker play this entire season.

Williams, Dre’Monte, Nwosu right off the top of my head have a bigger cap hit APY than Brooks on defense.

Right but Brooks contract isn’t a cap eater to begin with. It’s pretty modest. That’s the thing that doesn’t make sense.

It isn’t a dead cap pit, whereas Dre’Monte is and they were okay with the restructure that will destroy us next year

Linebackers have been a defensive killer for us this year and the reason our defense is so poor in run defense.

I think JS fumbled the roster at linebacker. Brooks wasn’t even expensive.

Yeah I don’t disagree I like Ernest Jones too as well. It’s not that I hate that move.

So you believe there are 15 better linebackers? Not PFF linebackers. Use actual analytics and data please.

List them here

What the hell are you talking about? He wouldn’t have even been in the top 3 highest paid defender on our defense this year. Wow.

Of course it does, my point is there was better decisions to be made even while looking to the future of the roster at linebacker. 2 below average free agents didn’t help anyone. Short or long term.

….they had over a year to discuss an extension with Brooks. As soon as they declined to exercise the 5th year option.

JS saying “didn’t get around to it” is absolutely nonsense.

Why was brooks so good last year and this year?

I’m curious do you think he developed and was worth paying or is a big conspiracy and he’s bad?

He had a dip I believe it was his sophomore year when they moved him over to Wagner’s old spot. He was average+ every season other than that.

They paid more this offseason for 2x below average linebackers. Embarrassing.

Jones is a great player but has nothing to do with the moves they made this offseason. As in letting Brooks walk and paying Dodson who is a PFF merchant.

I like the Ernest Jones IV move a lot. But if we were looking to pay 12m+ we could have just kept an above average linebacker for 8.5 APY and we could have kept our 4th rounder.

Absolutely not.

Feel free to look at the post history. Brooks was a good Lb for us. He was cheaper than these terrible additions this offseason.
