LA Rams DE Michael Brockers first FA loss, heading to Ravens

Farewell old friend

We know that the news would hit his teammates hard.  Michael Brockers is an exceptional teammate – upbeat, dependable, and a wise NFL veteran always willing to coach up younger teammates. Even as he recognized his time with Los Angeles was likely coming to an end, he made it a point to thank the fans and the organization.  That’s class and is a Michael Brockers’ trademark.

Rams players reacted with disappointment to watch such a great teammate on-the-field, and a class act off-the-field, leaving for another team. DT Aaron Donald, who publicly pleaded with the Rams to re-sign Brockers, shared that he would “miss you like hell man” on social media today.

Defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day was even more adamant of his support of his teammate, claiming he was “one of the best leaders he’s ever encountered”.  No doubt second-year player Greg Gaines will miss Brockers as well.

So all that is left to discuss is what can the Rams do to fill his spot in the line?
