INDIANAPOLIS - After five years, Eugene Wilson and the Patriots have decided to part ways. The two-time Super Bowl starter will become a free agent Friday at 12:01 EST, and he won't be back in New England.
"I'm looking forward to moving on, and at the same time, I wish the best of luck to the Patriots because I don't think I'll be back there this year," Wilson said yesterday. "I'm excited to get into free agency to see what is out there."
Based on informal discussions with personnel executives and coaches at the NFL combine, Wilson should expect to draw some interest, perhaps as soon as the opening weekend of free agency. One club had him ranked as the second-best safety available in free agency, while also valuing that he can play cornerback in five- or six-defensive back packages.

"Everybody got along with everyone," Wilson said, "but I think we all realize this is a business and we move on."
