Tampa Bay Release Derrick Brooks And Four Others

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started early in rebuilding the Buccaneers, but I do not know if they are going about it in the right way. Derrick Brooks the outstanding linebacker with the Buccaneers who could be considered the greatest Buccaneer player ever was one of the surprise cuts. Other players who were released were Warrick Dunn, Ike Hillard, Cato June, and Joey Galloway.

All the other players should not come as a shock to Tampa Bay fans, but the Brooks move is strange to say the least. Tampa Bay is on a youth movement and I can understnad the reasons they did it, but Derrick Brooks deserved a lot better then how he was treated. He was always the guy who did the right things and was very big in the Florida community as well. I know this is a business, but Derrick should have been treated much better than he was.

Derrick Brooks One Of The Greatest Ever

How do we equate one of the greatest ever? Do we have to mention his name all the time or is he the assuming leader who shows by example. If you were looking for a leader than Derrick brooks would be at the head of your class. Brooks has anchored the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for a long time and 10 Pro Bowls and 9 All-Pro seasons will get him in the Hall Of Fame.

What sets Brooks apart from others is his willingness to help others on his team and the community that is what a real leader is. Yes, Derrick is not the player he once was, but give me him any day of the week and I will win a lot of football games.
