Wilson was voted a starter for the Pro Bowl this past season, but he didn't play because of he had postseason thumb surgery.
I have no idea how Gene Upshaw sleeps at night. Any chance this guy gets released if he is healthy? Think about the amount of money that hurt baseball players get paid. I'm pretty sure that the Oriloes are still paying Albert Belle!!!!
I can only hope that this shows you the differnce between the Krafts and other owners, they paid Teddy, even when he had a non-football related injury, and carried Edwards for a few years when he was hurt.
I don't know what his injury is, I'm guessing nerve damage or a neck problem, but this guy was a helluva player, and to see him tossed aside like this is a sad statement about the NFL.
Broncos were in the post season?

Yeah, poor guy only played in the NFL for eight years and only made millions and millions of dollars while playing. Do you guys want to start a fund for him? The fact of the matter is that there is no way the NFL could have the guaranteed contracts that other sports do just because of the violent nature of the game. I do agree with you in that if he is too badly injured to play again then the Broncos should show some class and help him out with rehab or a job if he wants one. That being said, of all the people to worry about in the world Al Wilson is pretty far down on my list and something like this is the least of my problems with Upshaw.
Anyway, it may be the case that he failed the Giants physical because they found something that would preclude them from taking on his big contract, its not necessarily a career ending injury like some are making it out to be. If it does turn out to be more of a concern than a major problem and Wilson is willing to play for less $$$ in exchange to have a great shot at winning a ring, then I would love to see him in a Pat's uniform. Of course if it does turn out that his neck injury is a real problem then I would rather he stays off the field than risks doing permanent damage, he's played for a while and made his money.
