It seems that there is a good amount of acrimony between Brooks and the 49ers. The young kid, I believe his name is Aaron Curry, who was getting a bulk of Brooks' playing time, really looked good.
You would think that with Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman coming off major injuries that the Niners would keep all the good LBs they currently have. Yes, I realize they play different LB positions.
Does he fit here? Could he play DE? I always liked his pass rush ability and athleticism? And Lord knows we need LBs.....
Why the nastiness? I wrote 'I think.......' because I wasnt sure and I dont Google everything before I post.
Are you a perfect poster here? Probably not. Ease back. OK?
And Ive seen him own Russell Okung on several occasions, as well as other tackles in this league. Not that Okung is an HOFer, but Brooks has a nasty side that we haven't seen at LB in years. An upgrade and a veteran that has played on a top five defense recently with last year as the one notable exception.
Sounds like a Danny Boy move, fer sure. That would be a shame though, because I still think brooks has a lot left in the tank. 6 foot 3, 259 pounds and just over 30. I don't think he is spent by a long shot.

I'd look at him for short yardage duties at LB. Beason is a risk, McClain kinda stinks, he could easily beat out anyone besides Kennard at Mike or Will. I'd def take a look, a guy with that much size and power as a weapon for Spags front 7 is a good idea.

3-4 to 4-3 scheme notwithstanding, you gotta love the guy.
He's the kinda guy that sometimes disappears for a few games but always comes up big in big games. His games against Carolina and Seattle are noteworthy.
And Ahmad Brooks sacks and intercepts Drew Brees equally.
I'd hate to see him go.
Who are we speaking about?
I think I know, but I want to be sure.
If this is a redirect to insult a certain someone, things will get interesting very quick. :)
Losing Brooks isn't really a big deal; you already have his replacement. But he's the kind of luxury the 49ers could afford while Kaepernick was cheap. Now they have the same problem as every other team that pays full price for a QB.
