He may have one season left in the tank. If he's signed, who's on the outs for the roster? What does it say about Elliott and Biegel?

All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
It's probably a combination. Fackrell's play. Elliott's back. Biegel's foot.
I don't know if TT would give up on a 3rd round pick after just one year. It hasn't happened yet.

49ers switched to a 4-3 this year making Brooks expendable. Git er done TT!

I doubt they are done with Fackrell. Both Biegel and Perry were both on everyone's roster prior to Saturday night. Both are injured now.
Glad they called him, hope there is something in the tank. But even if all he does is hold an edge it could work.
Packer Report mentions that Brooks was moved out of position as off the ball OLB in their switch this year to a 4-3 from the 3-4. Brooks had good success in the 3-4 under Fangio, who learned it from Capers. So learning curve will be light.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Brandon's link says that Elliot aggravated his back Saturday night. Did he come out and stay out because of it?
PackerWire, which at this point is the best online source of actual, findable information about the Packers, says Elliot indeed aggravated his back and left, leading to Gilbert coming and staying in.
So my theory is that Elliot might be the odd man out if he will need weeks to recover fully.
Before anyone jumps off the cliff at Fuckdoggle Falls though, Packer Report seems to think Elliot's night ending early was as much preventative as anything else, if I am reading between the lines correctly.

Holy crap, Brooks has a case open from 2015 for sexual assault. He also was accused (no charges filed) of smashing a beer bottle over a teammates head in 2013. 2008 while with Bengals he was charged with fourth degree assault but charges were later dropped. He was also dismissed from the Virginia football team and entered the NF: via the supplemental draft.

Underwood might think he is Packer People at this point.

From August 26, 2015:
The charges against McDonald were dismissed earlier this year when the woman refused to testify.San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks and former Niners defensive end Ray McDonald will face charges stemming from an incident last December in which a woman claims she was raped by McDonald.
A grand jury in Santa Clara County, Calif. on Wednesday indicted McDonald on one charge of raping an intoxicated person.
Prosecutors on the same day charged Brooks with misdemeanor sexual battery. The woman filed a civil lawsuit against Brooks earlier this year claiming that he touched her in a sexual manner on the same night she says she was assaulted by McDonald.

Brooks is super strong and has big time athleticism.
He was in town here and is real close to certifiably nuts.
So are a lot of NFL players.
Several Bengal coaches couldn't handle him, which lead to him getting his mail in SF.
This does complicate things a bit. Not crazy about bringing in a guy who will be dealing with this during the season. I imagine the Packers are trying to find out everything they can about this situation. The alleged victim refused to testify against McDonald, which probably means he paid her off. Could the same thing happen here?In addition, Brooks still is facing sexual battery charges stemming from a 2014 incident at former 49ers teammate Ray McDonald’s home. According to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office, a pretrial motion is scheduled for Sept. 29 at which point a trial date will be set.

I'm all for bringing him in for a look, and if his skill level hasn't faded much, sign him. The craziness thing shouldn't be a problem if it can get channeled the right way. The charges against him sound like a hooker who didn't get paid until she filed on the players.
My guy Elliot didn't do much against the Broncos, maybe because of the injury; Fackrell is a project at best; The two starters are obviously injury prone. Gilbert and Calvin have both looked decent to me, but I think they have pretty low ceilings. And I'll be surprised if Biegel isn't on the PUP.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Doesn't take a rocket Scientist to see our cup is not too full with depth and talent at LB. I always liked Wayne Simmons. Maybe he brings in the same kind of toughness.
One year deal; get it done TT
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
