The Football Guru 212 Posted March 23, 2007 didn't see a thread on this, so I thought I would start one. NFLN did not speculate what Denver's compensation would be other than that the Broncos needed to lop off a big salary off their payroll and Wilson's $5.2 M qualified. Obviously, if this trade happens, the Giants LBs go from Antonio Pierce and others to a pretty good foundation that may just need to add a stud LB on the first day of the draft.

OrangeSoda 2 Posted March 23, 2007 It's not official yet, And the eagles and Lions are still interested as well! This is what Roto World Said: NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Giants and Broncos are in trade talks involving middle linebacker Al Wilson. The Eagles, Lions, and Redskins (before London Fletcher signed) have also reportedly been involved in talks regarding Wilson. The Newark Star-Ledger reports he would play the weak side if acquired by New York. Source: Newark Star-Ledger I still think he goes to the lions.....But I don't understand this move? This leaves denver extreemly thin at linebacker. They would have no MLB? And wilson is prowbowl caliber player. I don't like this move unless they somehow aquire a STUD pass rusher in the process?

big D 0 Posted March 23, 2007 I'd be very happy to see Wilson out of Denver and the AFC. As a Denver fan, I agree. I'd like to see him on another AFC team though so we can exploit his shortcomings. Great character and fan favorite, but over-rated. He makes too much money and makes too many mistakes. He looks lost half the time out there. He can't cover in zone. He can't cover the RBs when the outside LB has TE. His play the last half of the season was atrocious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xenophobe 1 Posted March 23, 2007 Looks like league sources have indicated he'll be in NY for a physical today, and the Denver Post is reporting he will be a Giant: http://blog.nj.com/ledgergiants/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROCKET 0 Posted March 23, 2007 The deal is dead as Wilson failed his physical. His neck is the supposed problem. He was taken out on a stretcher last year during a game and at the time it looked scary. Most teams are'nt going to give up a lot for an aging guy who has head, neck or back issues. How bad a team feels the neck problem really is will dictate if and where he ends up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
