Ok, I know these threads are gonna be everywhere, but isn't Wilson a real player? Apparently he just wanted out of Oakland and refused a pay-cut to escape.

Thoughts?

The Raiders web site had this up earlier in the day and I posted it under the NFL Football Forum, but could find no confirmation. Apparently it's true. Raiders fans sound really upset, especially as Al Davis cut Wilson and kept Kwame Davis. Sounds like a cap fallout from the Scrabble signing.

Wilson would be a great addition to the secondary, and a nice complement to Mayo. I like him the best of all the safeties who have been rumored or actual free agents - Atogwe (franchised), Sean Jones, Michael Huff (apparently being kept by Oakland). I'm sure a lot of teams will be knocking on his door, and I hope we are one of them.

He's tiny, not a real hitter, but pretty good in coverage. He was probably the best defensive back on the Giants when they won the Super Bowl, though their secondary was pretty heinous so that isn't saying much.

Wilson was making too much money to begin with, but he can play some. Wouldn't be bad as a nickel safety type. I wouldn't want him and Meriweather out there as the safety tandem though, since neither guy is really suited to play in the box at all.

No, thanks.

And can we PLEASE stop doing this for every name, big and small, who has flooded the FA market?

You'd prefer more Matt Cassel threads?

It's an annual ritual at cut time, kicking the tires of every used car in the lot. Seems as good a use of the deep offseason as any.

Richter

This probably isn't the thread to lodge that (valid) complaint, given that Wilson can actually play, unlike 95% of the guys brought up in threads like this, and the Patriots could use another safety, given the uncertainty with Rodney and the pending free agency of James Sanders.

Simple solution... If you don't like it, don't read it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
