I really wish we could get off the whole "lets sign 56 year old+ linebacker threads." We need to stop being blind to the fact that in all of our superbowls, we allowed the other teams to score in their final drives...and a defensive breakdown towards the end of these games can be somewhat directed at linebacking. I love a good vet, but the time is now to get young blood...not all these used washed up Al Wilson guys...It's a serious flaw we have and we can say "In BB and Pioli we trust"...but when is the last time we found a keeper out of these backup LB's? Vrabel?...just my two cents
6'-240 isn't small. That's Bruschi sized.
Obviously, it's relative, but the 3-4 usually requires ILBs to be huge to take on Guards. Tedy is the exception, not the rule.
, but is that ED in there?
But hey, this is kind of like the Red Sox bringing in Bartolo Colon (and he's looked surprisingly good) and looking at every on the bubble pitcher that turns up. You may just get lucky.
Al Wilson is a great player and an emotional leader. As a Charger fan I was ecstatic when the Broncos released him and hoped the Chargers would sign him (last year). He would be a tremendous addition to any team IMO (but if NO one signs him, obviously they know something we don't). I'd hate it if the Patriots signed him because I believe it would make them stronger and more able to beat my Chargers.Per PFT.
Would the pats be at all interested after his neck injury?

He did not even get a invite for a visit which can mean only 1 thing .He cannot pass physical .
their is a huge difference between doc clearing to play then to pass physical of a team.
