The Oakland Raiders have parted ways with three veteran players, including one of their high-priced free agents from last year at this time.

Gone are safety Gibril Wilson, defensive end Kalimba Edwards, and receiver Ronald Curry.

Wilson signed a six-year, $39 million deal last March. He reportedly was among multiple players who wanted out of Oakland during the 2008 regular season.

Per RaiderBeat.com, Wilson reportedly refused to reduce a $4.5 million roster bonus that he was due to receive in March.

Get Gibril Wilson now!!!! Wow!

[Jetlag]

Did Wilson just get $16 million for one season?

[war ensemble]

I wouldn't mind bringing Gibril over here. Solid safety. I say go for it if the price is right--I might even prefer him to Leonhard.

[Ryno the Jet]

Wilson is a tackling machine that would fit nicely alongside Rhodes, but he will be pricey!

[Ghost]

As long as we get Leonard or Wilson I'll be happy.

[Jetkid94]

good for 2 reasons.

1. if we dont land leonard wilson is a great second option

2. wilson can get a lot of attention leaving leonard to get less money(to us)

[JetFanBird]

Wilson would be a solid pick up.
