Linebacker Keith Brooking, the last remaining player from the Falcons’ 1998 Super Bowl team, is no longer with Atlanta.
Brooking became a free agent at 12:01 a.m. Friday, after negotiations for a new contract broke off.

“We have had ongoing dialogue with the Falcons, but we are both seeking more clarity on his market value,” wrote Brooking’s agent Pat Dye Jr. in an e-mail to the Journal Constitution. “At this juncture, it appears we will try to find that clarity by exploring the free agent marketplace.”

Brooking, a five-time Pro Bowler, has lead the team in tackles for eight consecutive years.
However, last season he appeared to struggle in pass coverage, especially against running backs.
Brooking also had a role in Arizona successfully converting a third down-and-16 late in the wildcard playoff game.

Though I will miss brooking I can always remember how often he got a tackle 8yards down field or how on 3rd and 16 in the playoffs he bites on a pass play and watches a ball sail over his head to the tightend for Arizona.

I have enough bad memories to make me ok with him being gone.

Personally,I always thought the guy was kinda overrated.
