faba Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The Miami Dolphins didn't wait until Friday's start of the free-agent signing period to address their need at strong safety. Top stories | Rumors | Video | Photos FOXSports.com has learned Gibril Wilson has agreed to contract terms with the Dolphins. Further details weren't immediately available. Wilson became available when released by Oakland, an unexpected move considering he was signed to a six-year, $39 million contract in March 2008. Wilson finished last season as Oakland's second-leading tackler with 129. Wilson, 27, spent his first four seasons with the New York Giants and was a starter on the team that defeated New England in Super Bowl XLII. Both of Miami's 2008 starting safeties -- Yeremiah Bell and Renaldo Hill ? are set to become unrestricted free agents at midnight Friday. The Wilson signing is the third major personnel move Miami has already made this offseason. Within the past week, the franchise also inked right tackle Vernon Carey and linebacker Channing Crowder to multiyear contract extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This close to the FA period, you would have thought Wilson would have waited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashingjet Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This close to the FA period, you would have thought Wilson would have waited. He knew he wanted to play for a winning team. No need to wait untill free agency starts when a franchise like Miami comes calling. I read his agent told him the Jets were going to offer more money on Friday, but Wilson said he wanted to play for winners, hence his signing early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be stupid to wait until the money dries up. This had nothing to do with a "franchise like Miami" calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 How are you a "winner" if you've been "winners" (I guess by your logic being a winner is playing in the postseason and getting your ass handed to you) only once since 2001? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the highest winning percentage in the NFL since the merger, makes us winners. Yes, we got our ass handed to us in the playoffs. How did the Jets do?

Boynton Beach Jets Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Is this sarcasm? Only a Dolphag fan:bag: would think they are a good franchise and last year was not an aberration.
