- Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports the San Francisco 49ers are expected to release LB Ahmad Brooks. The team appears ready to move on from the 33-year old after he lost his battle with Eli Harold for the starting job at strong side linebacker.
- A difference maker at the linebacker position from 2009-2013, Brooks’ production has dipped drastically the last three years with overall grades of 55.8 (2014), 45.8 (2015) and 49.5 (2016).
- Brooks led the team with 31 quarterback hurries in 2016 but has struggled with 46 missed tackles since 2013 (3,461 snaps) after recording just 15 missed tackles his whole career prior (3,349 snaps).
