Jordyn Brooks - 1st Team All-pro

Congrats to him. Let that put to rest the take about him sucking. You could see his talent when he was here and that it wasn't him that was flawed, but the system he was playing in.

It's almost like coaching matters.

Yeah, and I think he fell victim to the numbers game to some extent.

Bobblehead · Jan 10, 2026

His numbers didn't appear to suck in Seattle, he just had a injury.

Sperrydogg · Jan 10, 2026

I think he didn’t get much love in Seattle cause he was part of the displacement of b-wags

And for the record I hate how kj wright and Bobby Wagner’s time in Seattle ended.

It was time to rebuild the d. He got paid here. We have a killer defense. I wouldn't bring either back. Their teams are losing. Thanks for the memories.

I would def take Brooks back.. 100 percent

Brooks was overrated as crap when he was here. Good for him that he was able to put it together somewhere else, but we were right in letting him go and are better off with EJ.

Yes. All Pros get paid. We have a current balance. I'd hate to mess it up.

Agreed about Brooks — I think the situation turned out well both for him and the Hawks.

Also, crap is overrated? Who's doing the rating?

Turns out positive vibes cheerleading isn’t a system at all unless you have far superior talent.

I don't know. Thats like saying Steve Young was overrated when he was with the Bucs.

Right player, wrong system, wrong coaching.

He was always extraordinarily capable. People just couldn't see it because of how bad the system made him look.

Nobody looked good in that defense. Not even B Wags.

My memory of Brooks when he was here was that he was a solid player, good roster piece, but not a big play difference maker. I distinctly remember always being a little surprised by his tackle totals because almost none of them stuck out to me. I wasn't particularly phased at the time when we weren't aggressive about bringing him back. Even now I'm kind of surprised that he's a first team All Pro, but then again I haven't spent much time watching the Dolphins play. Good for him, though.

$17.1 million APY plants him firmly in the top echelon of NFL linebackers, where he belongs. He wasn't the kind of flashy player that attracts a lot of attention, but if you watched him closely, you could see that he was a very good player who could only do so much with the situation in which he found himself. I wouldn't want him over EJ4, but would have loved to see them in the same backfield under MM.

NGL, I'm intrigued at how Miami is building their defense. Brooks is gonna be playing alongside Jacob Rodriguez, and then they got Chris Johnson in the secondary...They could be sneaky good.

I only just saw this, but it's a little validating since I saw him the same way NoGain did. Not bad, probably falling a bit short of a second contract with us but hardly a first-round bust.

SoulfishHawk · 2026-07-21T12:57:27-0700

Better player than many gave him credit for. Glad the Hawks didn't give him a huge contract, but happy for the guy. Always seemed like a stand up dude.
