From NFL coverage, this is your March 4th update. The Green Bay Packers just locked in running back Chris Brooks with a new two-year deal worth $4,850,000. This move happened a week before he could hit restrictive free agency, avoiding the need for a minimum one-year tender of $3,500,000. $20,000. Instead, the team offered around $2.4 million per season, likely with a signing bonus. That set of keeps Brooks in Green Bay without him testing the open market, where he might not have found a better fit. Brooks brings real value as a third down back and special team's ace. He stepped up big in past protection over 157 plays, not allowing a single sack while giving up just two quarterback hits. On special teams, he played 247 snaps across return and coverage units. He tied for the team lead there with 14 tackles, showing his all-around impact. Now the Packers face a similar situation with backup running back at Manuel Wilson,
another restrictive free agent. They'll either need to sign him to a new deal or extend that same $3,520,000 tender to hold onto his rights. This story is shared with support from our sponsor. Press play, put your head down. The sound is already there. S-O-L-I-SoliPelo.com
