Ahmad Brooks isn't a lock to make 49ers' roster

San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks isn’t a lock to make the team's final 53-man roster.

What It Means:

He's at risk of losing his starting role to 2015 third-rounder Eli Harold, who is younger and cheaper. The 49ers can save $4.8 million from cutting Brooks.

If he does make it through cuts, he could be a sneakily lucrative addition for Individual Defensive Player (IDP) owners. Our algorithms project Brooks for 69.38 tackles and 8.04 sacks.
