Tampa Bay Cut Five Including Derrick Brooks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers seem to be cleaning house and I do not think they are going about it the right way. They brought in a much younger coach and I guess they think it is time to rebuild the franchise so they let go of five veterans from the team. As expected Ike Hillard,Joey Galloway, Warrick Dunn,and Cato June were released. Now the shocker was they also cut 11 time Pro-Bowler derrick Brooks who is 35 years old which is a shock to many including me.

Yes, Brooks has slowed up some, but still is a player that you can use to win games. Trust me if Jon Gruden did not think Brooks could get the job done he would have cut him a long time ago. The Buccaneers said they wanted to head in a direction of younger players, but the bottom line is if the younger players were better they would have been playing. It looks like it maybe a very long season for Buccaneer fans and that is a shame.
