I hope everyone doesn't think that by me posting this thread I was suggesting we go sign the guy. I just thought it was interesting, especially since he was one of the names being discussed in that old Bly trade thing.

Might be worth it if he excepts less money or a back ended-non guarunteed contract to ensure he overcomes his injury. He was one of the better LB's.

It's definately worth a thread. Wilson is a pretty significant player, even if his neck injury may ultimately end his career.

I would not be surprised in the least bit though.... if he visites Redskins Park this weekend. Just throwing it out there... We love free agents. Our Redskin staff can not get enough of them... They have absolutely no confidence in the draft. None what so ever!

Nothing too serious....just a NECK injury that caused him to fail a Giants physical. Note to self...don't sign LBs with neck injuries who could be paralyzed at any moment.

yeah, forgot about the failed physical. Good note to self!

If we sign him, would he get to wear #56 like he did in denver, or has the Danny already made plans to retire that no. & hang it from the rafters of Fedex?

Well if we gave him 56 then he'd be doomed to be moody, injury prone and ineffective. But he'd be a leader!

Well, he is a linebacker -- for that reason alone, I'll bet this front office has their eyes focused on him.

Gregg Williams could always institute a 2-5-4 defensive set this year, you never know. Maybe they figure if there are enough linebackers on the field it should help stop the run at some point.

Al Wilson may not play this year according to NFL Sirius Radio. So I think we should let this one slide and let the Giants sign another beat up linebacker to eat cap space, while riding the pine.

really, is his health that bad?

feel sorry for him, he was a beast. what a fast decline. but if it was the neck injury that makes sense.
espn only mentioned a back injury

Unfortunately due to injury, Al Wilson has as much chance to be successful as a one legged man in an ass kickin' contest! We should pass.
