BUCS PART WAYS WITH DERRICK BROOKS AND OTHERS
Posted by Mike Florio on February 25, 2009, 1:16 p.m.

Despite having $50 million or more in cap space, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have embarked on a youth movement, which apparently has put in jeopardy anyone on the roster older than the head coach.

According to Pewter Report, the Bucs are releasing linebacker Derrick Brooks, receiver Joey Galloway, linebacker Cato June, and running back Warrick Dunn.

Get Dunn over Taylor and get Brooks a medical. There might be something up there.

And after Brooks and Dunn, who next? Brad Paisley?

At this point, Dunn doesn't fulfill any role that Kevin Faulk doesn't already fill better. Brooks is too small for this defense and he's in the dog days of his career. Cato June, same thing, though he might end up back with the Colts as he's still relatively young. Galloway's career is done.

I'ld take Brooks at the right price

The burner there might fit nice with Welk and Moss

Brooks was drafted in 95, has played as a star most of his career, and has never missed a game. Damn, that's impressive for a LB.

Arent we tired of LBs who are close to collecting Social Security?

Brooks was a beast his whole career,especially teaming up with Sapp in the Championship year - His best days are over IMO

Situational player at best in this system

Brooks has absolutely lost a step or two the last couple of years and has played his entire career in a different defensive scheme than what the Pats use. He does, however, have superior football intelligence and instincts. He's a high character guy but I just don't know if he's the right fit for the Pats' defense. Also, he's played all his football in Florida (Tampa Bay, Florida State, went to high school in FL) so I don't know that he's going to be too eager to play anywhere else at this point.
