The Seattle Seahawks have decided not to extend the contract of linebacker Jordyn Brooks for a fifth year. This news comes as a surprise to many fans, as Brooks had been a key part of the Seahawks defense since being drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Brooks had a solid rookie season, starting all 16 games and recording a team-high 104 tackles. He also had two sacks and an interception, and was named to the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team. He was expected to be a cornerstone of the defense for years to come.
However, the Seahawks have decided to move on from Brooks and not extend his contract. This could be due to a number of factors, including salary cap considerations, or the team’s desire to focus on other positions. It could also be that the team believes that Brooks’ performance has not been up to par with what was expected from him when he was drafted.
Whatever the reason, this is a significant move for the Seahawks and their defense. Brooks was expected to be an integral part of the team for years to come, and his absence will be felt. It remains to be seen who will take his place in the lineup, and how the team will adjust without him.
This news is sure to be a disappointment to many Seahawks fans, who had high hopes for Brooks when he was drafted. However, it is important to remember that this is a business decision, and the team must do what is best for their future success.
