Contract restructured Brockers' restructured contract with the Lions is for three years and has a total value of $24 million with $11 million in guarantees, Mike Garafolo of NFL.com reports.
Impact Brockers' restructured deal comes in the wake of his trade from the Rams earlier in the week. Since Brockers' previous contract had no guarantees, the Rams "tried to slash his pay before dealing him," according to Garafolo. The veteran compiled 51 tackles and five sacks in 2020 and will likely start at defensive tackle for Detroit in the coming season.

Officially dealt to Detroit The Lions completed their trade for Brockers on Wednesday, acquiring him from the Rams in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Similar to Los Angeles' deal with Detroit earlier this offseason that swapped Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford, one of the Rams' main incentives in this trade appears to be clearing cap space. After signing a three-year, $24 million deal with Los Angeles last March, Brockers was apparently unwilling to restructure his contract when the Rams requested an adjustment, according to Rapoport. After finding a team willing to take on Brockers' remaining money in Detroit, the Rams will clear $6.2 million in cap space while receiving future late-round compensation. Brockers should slot in as a starter at defensive tackle for Detroit.
