Derrick Brooks has joined ESPN2 as an analyst, but still wants to play in the NFL. Brooks was released by the Buccaneers after the 2008 season. He has had discussions with the Saints and Bears, but hasn't received a contract offer. "While I still feel like I can play in the NFL, I'm excited to be a part of ESPN's NFL coverage where I have a lot of former teammates," Brooks said in a news release from ESPN. "I look forward to the exposure this opportunity will bring as I share my knowledge and perspective of the game on 'First Take.' "
