Ahmad Brooks has already found a new home.
A week after being released by the San Francisco 49ers, Brooks has agreed to a one-year deal with the Green Bay Packers. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says the deal is for a $3.5 million base salary, with the potential to earn up to $5 million.

Brooks, 33, has been in the league since 2006. He played eight straight seasons with the Niners, racking up at least five sacks a year with them. The linebacker is on the decline though and lost his starting spot last season.
