New places New faces! (Casey)

In the last week we have seen many different professional atheletes changing teams and moving to different locations. The NBA had its trade deadline and Free agency in the NFL is going on strong and with all the moves going on it made me wonder, After the Steelers let Hines Ward go and the Colts cut Peyton Manning who is going to be the next big name superstar to leave his team and play for someone else and I thought of a few more players that in my mind are going to leave;

• The first player i thought of was New York Yankees Shortstop Derek Jeter. Jeter has been with the Yankees since 1995 and his $51 million dollar contract ends after the 2013 year. Over the last few years the 37 year olds batting average has slumped from .334 in 2009 to .297 last year, his slugging precentage over that same time went from .465 to .388 and he is not the same player as he used to be. He has been Mr Yankee forever but if you don't produce you don't stay.
• Another player I see switching teams would be Kobe Bryant! Now hear me out on this Kobe has been a Laker since 1996, he is 33 years old and is still averaging about 29 points per game, but all that said you must remember he has been in the leauge for 15 years and his body has been through a ton. He has also shown lately that he is frusterated with some of the things that Laker management is doing and that the Laker players are not happy with there coach. So if the Lakers again make an early exit out of the playoffs again and continue to struggle and not fix the holes left on the team when the starters sit look for him to start looking around for a new landing spot where he can win another championship.
• The last person I thought of was Drew Brees. He has been in the NFL since 2001 when the Chargers drafted him and has been with the Saints since 2006 and has won a Super Bowl there. He has taken the city by storm and is a great QB but has had a pretty severe labrum injury while playing for the chargers. He has been in contract negotiations with the Saints for a while now and with the big contract that the Broncos just gave Peyton Manning after his injury I can see Drew using that to get all he can but they may not do that. It could be interesting.

So It will be interesting to see who may get cut or let go from there stable team. Life in professional sports is not easy or stable. If you guys can think of anyone that you might think is going to be let go, leave me a comment and let me know who and why!
