Maxman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sources: Jets not expected to bring back Kyle Wilson February 25, 2015 9:24 PM Kyle Wilson catches a pass during warmups. (Aug. 18, 2012) Photo Credit: Getty Images Kyle Wilson's days with the Jets are likely numbered. Sources told Newsday on Wednesday that the former first-round pick isn't expected to return to the team in 2015. The 27-year-old cornerback will become a free agent on March 10. Wilson was selected 29th overall in 2010, but his five-year tenure with the team has been disappointing. He never developed into anything more than an average slot cornerback after he struggled mightily on the outside. One of coach Todd Bowles' priorities is shoring up the secondary. It's unclear how healthy Dee Milliner (Achilles) and Dexter McDougle (ACL) will be after undergoing surgery last year. And with Wilson's expected departure, the Jets also will be in the market for a slot corner. Wilson, a Piscataway, New Jersey, native, played 320 snaps in 2014. In his career with the Jets, he's registered 162 tackles, three interceptions and one sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Now i'm 100% positive this organization finally has its head on straight. Rex would of asked to retain him simply because of the lack Of depth at Corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayNoToDMC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 But I thought some statistics website said he was like a top 10 slot corner during the second half of afternoon games, played the 3rd week of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freemanm Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It kind of says something that when the Jets desperately needed a starting corner because of Iziot's stupidity, they rather would have started a safety who didn't even know how to play corner over Kyle Wilson.

papz187 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Only thing surprising about this thread is the photo used. When the hell has Wilson caught the football? 3 career interceptions and off the top of my head I can only remember one.....it was the game against SD where we came back from down at halftime and Sanchez threw 3 TDs to Plax, Wilson had the game clinching INT on the final drive. The other 2, I have no idea. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southparkcpa Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Truly a poster child for everything that is/was wrong with the NY JETS in the REX era. Simply couldn't evaluate talent at even an average level. Kyle Wilson in fact probably represents one of our average picks, thats how bad it has been.

CrazyCarl40 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This doesn't really create a hole in the secondary either. There are a few guys already on the team that aren't starting on the outside when the Jets bring in some better corners and could easily be slot and dime guys.

TomsRiverJet Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Made my morning. I just hope Rexie jumps all over him. Guaranteed 1st downs for us whenever we play the Jills. Sims 2015: What was that? It looked like the former Jet just gave them that 1st down. It's 3rd and 6, you can't leave that guy a 12 yard cushion. Bye Bye I can't wait till the 10th.

T0mShane Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm bummed we never got a gif of him finger-wagging that 49ers receiver who beat him so bad (the ball was overthrown) that the camera had to pan out to show Wilson and the receiver in the same frame. The embodiment of Rex Ryan football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsrebirth Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I hate to say it but I think they are going to have to turn over a large part of the roster before we can expect this team to be any good. I am not talking about .500 teams, I am talking about division winning teams. They are going to need to turn over most of this roster to clear the stench of Rex and his coaching affects. This is a decent first step, as Wilson embodies a lot of what Rex is all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
