First it was Warren Sapp, now it's Mike Alstott. The greatest players in Buc history are retiring one by one. Both were fan favorites. It wasn't odd to see a #99 or #40 jersey walking around in the Tampa area. Both have lost their luster. Sapp declined after a trade to the Raiders, and the A-train with constant back injuries.
I will personally miss both players, especially Alstott. The question now is, who's next? Former coach, Tony Dungy recently contemplated retirement before he ultimately decided against it. Will it be Derrick Brooks, or Ronde Barber? Or perhaps John Lynch. Who ever the next Tampa Bay Buccaneer to retire is, I know this. Gone are the great players from the Super Bowl. We need our younger players to step up now.
