One of the longest-tenured members of the Los Angeles Rams is moving on for the first time in his career. On the first day of the legal tampering period, Michael Brockers agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the deal is worth $30 million.
The #Ravens are giving former #Rams DT Michael Brockers a 3-year, $30M deal, source said. His versatility had several teams interested.

Brockers has spent his entire eight-year career with the Rams after being a first-round pick in 2012. He’s only missed five games in those eight seasons and has 344 tackles to go along with 23 sacks.
Though he never puts up big numbers in the pass-rush column, Brockers is an effective run defender – one of the best in the league, according to Aaron Donald. That’s an underappreciated aspect of his game, eating up blocks and wrapping up ball carriers with his length at defensive end.
Sebastian Joseph-Day was upset about the news, calling Brockers “one of the best leaders” he’s ever encountered.
🥺😭 big bro though…… https://t.co/fIus0K7tGs
