IMDB news articles aren't that reliable, its the same as wilkpedia. It's based on collection of information from other sources. Plus, nowhere in the article that you posted did it says that Brosnan was canned, neither was there a subtext saying that he got the boot for a younger guy. Its understandable that the script for Casino Royale called for a younger bond but that doesn't mean Brosnan wouldn't get it.

There are numerous sources on that particular page saying that Brosnan wanted to quit, especially in an interview done by Entertainment Weekly.
The only bond that can be bond is Connery. Roger Moore was too...corny but that's 70s/80s. Dalton was too darkish, then again that's just the 80s. George Lazenby was...just a blip on the bond radar
