This will be a relatively short post, but I wanted to officially send Keith Brooking off.
Chances are good that Brooking is heading to another team. Someone is going to be looking for veteran leadership and a linebacker reasonably effective against the run, and that team is going to offer Brooking more than Comrade Dimitroff is willing to. It's a tough loss from a leadership and team history standpoint, but I can't help but think that the Falcons can approximate his on-the-field value at this point with a higher round rookie or a decent free agent signing.
You thoughts?
