Al Wilson looking to come back
 

Per PFT.

Would the pats be at all interested after his neck injury?

I highly doubt it. He's a smallish 4-3 ILB, with a history of injuries. Although it's hard to rule out anyone at this point.

6'-240 isn't small. That's Bruschi sized.

The guy was an All-Pro in 2005 and 2006. I'd be very surprised if he isn't brought in for a look-see.

Awesome!

I would definitely go see that show!

I love "The Snake", "Poor Side of Town", "Show and Tell" and "Touch And Go"!

I heard on sirius on my way in that Wilson was going to Cleveland for a visit.

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

This has been in the news for some time..,not sure he would fit the bill inside..esp with the injuries..Can he play in a 3-4 inside?? Be a run stuffer?? I think other better options would be available..but he should be looked at of course...

Re: Al Wilson looking to come back
 

I heard Cornelius Bennett wants to come back!

And why not use Pepper Johnson in the 3-4? We're already paying him!

Re: Al Wilson looking to come back
 

Wilson would be our youngest linebacker at age 30 (he's a month younger than Adalius). Yes, he had neck problems but has since been cleared to play. Though he suffered the neck injury at the end of the 2006 season, he was still voted an All-Pro that year, and the previous year. He is a 5-time Pro Bowler. You'd be picking up a guy who was recently one of the best LBs in the league on the cheap, and if his injuries are a problem then he's toast and you cut him. Low-risk, high-reward. He's not small, he weighs 240 lbs, so he's about equivalent to Bruschi size. Again, prior to his injury, if someone said there was a chance of getting Al Wilson, people here would've done backflips.
