It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Adrian Wilson has not had a good season since 2009 and has now missed a full season and will be 35 if we are waiting on him to be the play maker at Safety its going to be a really long season, I say the guy retires if not he will and should be cut
Hey, look, the guy's a long shot. No one's doubting that.
But...Wilson working to rejoin Pats | ChatPats.com
"Devin McCourty is leading a group of Pats heading to Arizona to work out with Wilson, so the team continues to have hopes for the veteran."
I think that says a lot about this guy's work ethic and character...and what the coaches and his teammates thought about him last year.
The Pats bring in veterans all the time and rave about the benefit of their leadership and experience, only to cut them in July when they realize they have nothing left. Tory Holt (IR'd and then cut) and Joseph Addai come to mind.
I sincerely hope the Pats do enough at the position in the offseason to cut him and Gregory.
Gregory gets too much grief here. He's a good backup/spot starter.
The safety position could see a bloodbath in NE this offseason. There's the potential to see
A. Wilson
T. Wilson
Gregory
Ebner
looking for work elsewhere.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like there's no downside to bringing Wilson into camp, in terms of financials (nothing more paid until week 1). I guess we'll find out if his poor performance (an assessment based solely on where he was on the depth chart in exhibitions, and his play in them) was related to an existing injury or not.
I think that's exactly right. Gregory is a good backup / spot starter. The problem is, he's a full time starter and being paid much more than a good backup ($3.68M 2014 cap hit, the 11th highest on the team).
I didn't realize his cap hit was that much. That is excessive for a backup/spot starter. Hopefully he renegotiates.
Keeping Wilson through camp means that his money remains tied up. That's only a problem if the need the money, obviously, but cutting Wilson does free up more than a million dollars for free agency.
