New Ravens defensive lineman Michael Brockers, who agreed to a three-year deal worth a reported $30 million with $21 million guaranteed, says he chose to sign in Baltimore for an opportunity to win a Super Bowl given that he turned 29 in December and is entering his ninth year in the league.
Brockers was drafted out of LSU by the Rams in the first round (No. 14 overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft, spending the first four years of his career in St. Louis and the next four in Los Angeles. He played in all but five of the Rams’ games during that eight-year run.
Brockers came close to winning a ring with the Rams, who lost Super Bowl LIII, 13-3, to the New England Patriots in February 2019. Now, he wants to finish the job with the Ravens.
“I think it was the most important thought that was going through my head, because definitely you had other teams, other people interested in you,” Brockers said on Glenn Clark Radio March 19. “But being in [the Super Bowl], being closer to 30, being my ninth year in the league, that window for me is closing.
