TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Free agent Derrick Brooks said Wednesday he plans to play in the NFL this fall and possibly even return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team he led to a Super Bowl victory.

 

The NFL Defensive Player of the Year when Tampa Bay won the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, Brooks was among five players the Bucs cut in a February purge that included his former Florida State teammate, Warrick Dunn.

 

"I could still be a Buccaneer," Brooks said. "Stranger things that have happened. Teams are talking to me so I'm going to make sure I continue to stay in shape."

 

Although he turned 36 in April, Brooks said he's still in top physical condition.

God I would love to have this guy!! Especially to mentor our young, but promising linebacker corps. I highly doubt, however, that he would opt to spend his remaining year(s) playing in snowy buffalo. Who knows though.....stranger things have happened (i.e., Terrell Owens). Git r dun russ!!!
