Arizona Cardinals' Adrian Wilson among big-name cuts - NFL.com

Teams around the league are chopping down rosters and dumping salaries ahead of the NFL's three-day negotiating period for unrestricted free agents, which launches at 12:00 a.m. ET Saturday. Here's a quick look at some of the bigger names released as free agency nears.

» Adrian Wilson, Safety, Arizona Cardinals: Wilson, a five-time Pro Bowler, spent the past 12 seasons in Arizona after the Cardinals made him their third-round pick in 2001. At 33, his starting days might be over, but it's not implausible that Wilson -- now part of a strong group of free-agent defensive backs -- will catch on with another club.

With Wilson's release, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that the Cardinals are deep in talks with his replacement, Rashad Johnson. The team is not expected to let Johnson, who was Wilson's backup at strong safety, get to free agency but the 27-year-old will be coveted if he does hit the open market.

Sign the beast!

He took over where Pat Tillman left. BB wanted to sign Tillman. Here is his chance to sign his once upon a time replacement.

He could be the Rodney Harrison replacement that the Pats are so very missing!

Maybe he really wants a ring more than he wants money?

Is another safety that's a liability in coverage really what the Pats need?

Yeah, that's my view on it, too.

Although, I'd gladly sign Wilson if I could afford to do so with the money saved from cutting Gregory.

Chris Gamble,Aaron Ross,Atari Bigby and Dawan Landry are 4 more DBs cut today.

There are more notable DBs to pick from this offseason than I have ever seen.

JackBauer

Don't we only save 900k from cutting Gregory?

I wouldn't mind making a pass at Gamble myself.

Sciz

Right, so basically I'd take Wilson for the minimum

I still wonder what BB saw in Gregory. Eric Weddle is the guy he should have went after...even though it would have been for a lot.
