RAMS SIGN DT MICHAEL BROCKERS TO THREE-YEAR EXTENSION
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with DT Michael Brockers, the team announced today. After exercising Brockers’ fifth-year option during the 2015 offseason, the defensive tackle is now under contract with Los Angeles through the 2019 season.
“Retaining Michael was a priority for our organization,” Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher said. “Our defensive front has always been important to us, and Michael has been a significant part in what we do on that side of the football since we drafted him. We’re excited that he is going to continue his career with us here in Los Angeles.”
Brockers, who was drafted by the Rams 14th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, recorded one of the best seasons of his career in 2015. Following the 2015 season, he finished with career highs in tackles (74) and tackles for loss (12). His tackle for loss total tied for third among all Rams.
Since entering the NFL, Brockers has recorded 14.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 62 games (61 starts). Following his rookie season, he was named an All-Rookie selection by the Pro Football Writers of America and Pro Football Weekly in 2012.
