Linebacker Derrick Brooks, one of the greatest players in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history, was told Wednesday he will be released before the start of free agency along with four other veterans.
Brooks is an 11-time Pro Bowler and a potential Hall of Famer. Also informed of their impending releases were wide receivers Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard, halfback Warrick Dunn and linebacker Cato June.
I have to feel bad for Derrick Brooks. He was a first-round pick of the Bucs in 1995 and never missed a game. He had 25 interceptions during his 14-year career in Tampa Bay. He has been with Tampa Bay for what seems a million years and has been the leader of the defense. Brooks has a couple more years of being a good player and I expect him to be a Patriot because they love those type of guys. Dunn still has more in the tank, but isn't as effective as he once was, and Hilliard and Galloway are wild cards.
