Brockers signs w/ Ravens

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Ravens are giving former Rams’ DL Michael Brockers a 3-year, $30 million deal that includes $21m guaranteed, per source.

Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
Brockers essentially went from $11m/season to $10m/season as he enters his age 29 season. I thought the Rams might have a chance if it dropped lower, but the mention of “several teams” indicates there was a strong market.

Gary Klein@LATimesklein
Brockers was a stabilizing force for Rams but knew they would be hard-pressed to keep him with other salary commitments. Went out of his way to help younger linemen develop.

Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
Michael Brockers was the less-often spoken about member of the Rams DL featuring Aaron Donald, but there was no doubt that he would earn another significant contract in free agency.

Sebastian Joseph-Day@SJD_51
you’ll be missed big bro. Thank you for all of your mentorship. ONE OF THE BEST LEADERS IVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. ON & OFF THE FIELD. ONE OF THE BEST RUN STOPPING/ VERSATILE DEFENSIVE TACKLES In the game. Watch the tape.

Michael Brockers was the first draft pick by Les Snead as the Rams’ general manager. The first pick of the Snead/Fisher regime. Also a turning of the tide. Last year Saffold, this year Brockers and maybe even Zuerlein. All the longest-tenured players potentially gone.

Sam Monson@PFF_Sam
Last year Ravens had 2 interior DL in Pierce + Williams built basically like fire hydrants.

This season they may have just replaced them with the same quality run defenders, but who are 6’5-6’8, 300+, have way more length + positional flexibility in the positionless defense

Average of $10 mil/year earned a 4th round pick in this year’s comp picks…
