Ike hoping to catch on elsewhere
WR Joey Galloway is already on record about his intent to continue playing after his release on Wednesday. We've now learned fellow WR Ike Hilliard hopes to do the same.
His agent, Neil Schwartz, said Hilliard "plans on playing in 2009. I don't know for who just yet, but he plans on playing."
It's too early to say what sort of market there will be for Hilliard, who will be 33 on opening day but has remained consistent. Hilliard finished 2008 tied for second on the team with 47 receptions for 424 yards. His four touchdowns also ranked second on the team. That's the most touchdowns recorded by Hilliard since he scored six in 2003 while with the Giants.
As for the remaining players released on Wednesday, Derrick Brooks and Warrick Dunn haven't addressed their futures. It's expected Cato June -- who at 29 is the youngest of the group -- will land with another team in the near future.
