Green Bay Packers sign RB Chris Brooks

Chris Brooks is a depth running back signing rather than a meaningful offensive upgrade, as he has primarily served as a reserve and special teams contributor throughout his career. At $4.85M over two years, the deal represents a modest commitment for a backup role, suggesting Green Bay views him as organizational depth rather than a solution to their running back room needs. This is a safe, low-impact move that adds veteran experience without suggesting confidence in Brooks as a feature back or franchise contributor.
