D'brickMangoldJets Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The Broncos will reportedly release MLB Al Wilson on Friday. The Denver Post reports Wilson has a "strong chance" to miss the 2007 season due to neck and back injuries. Wilson, 29, also could retire. His release will save the Broncos $1.63 million under the salary cap. Source: Denver Post This interests me big time. Always liked his hard hitting attitude.

As for now, i think we have enough aging linebackers (1, eric barton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why, i'm thinking outside the box that maybe Wilson allows the Jets to trade a Barton for a first day pick, Keep rebuilding and retooling young talent.

Barton is expensive and old, that doesnt ever work out to being worth much in a trade... not to mention losing him for another old VET who doesnt know the system would be a downgrade...

KSJets Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Perhaps I'm misreading it, but doesn't it say there's a strong chance he won't even play this year? Why pick up someone who's on the downside of his career because of injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Am I the only one who knows how to read or am I just hallucinating? The man has serious back and neck issues that may prevent him from playing in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzock Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 But a Raiders fan?? do you like torture? j/k No, I just watch the old highlights of the 70,80s,early 90s late 90 and early 2000s and feel better i think were going to be vastly improved this season however.

You might want to notate that sarcasm, since typed letters usually don't indicate it and more importantly given the fact that many here would or have completely overlooked that huge snippet of information and actually feel we should sign him.

raffyD Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Al Wilson was a hitting machine, can't believe the injuries could cause him to retire. And to those saying he is old and on the downside of his career just remember that he's the same age as a certain LB the Pats signed this offseason that almost everyone here wanted us to go after.

KSJets Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 He's only on the downside of his career due to injuries though. If he was still healthy I wouldn't mind the Jets looking at him. Of course, if he was healthy, Denver probably wouldn't be releasing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I heard the word aging being thrown around earlier in the thread, and yes injuries can age a player very quickly, but people are talking like he's been in the league for 10 years! Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not so much the age, its how many hits he's taken. Different position, but look at priest holmes, he was very productive in his 30's where most RB's aren't. I didn't want Thomas cause i think he's overhyped, but maybe he hasn't taken as many hits as Wilson has. IDK, i don't want either of them...

I'm not calling you out MD, we're actually in agreement because I said that injuries can make a player older than they really are and conversely, a good healthy player can be younger than their age (see T. Jones). 29 is not old for a LB, it's only old for a LB that has neck and back problems that could end his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
