Lions release DL Mic’hael Brooks

The B.C. Lions have released defensive lineman Mic’hael Brooks after shopping him around the league according to Farhan Lalji of TSN.

As expected, #BCLions have released DT Mic'hael Brooks.
They'd been trying to trade him for over a month. No longer deemed a fit. Very good rookie season, up & down the past 2. Exceptional when motivated. Won't take him long to find work imo. @CFLonTSN @cfl @TSN_Sports @CFL_News
