Broncos LB Al Wilson released

I can't believe it!

Does this change their whole draft perspective. e.g. drafting Posluszny and moving D.J. to the middle, or simply trying to move up to get Willis.

anyway, what team do you think he'll land in...I personally think the Chargers should go for him after the departure of Edwards. Won't be surprised if the Patriots does as well, so would the Boys...so many teams could use his services, but what team do you think he'll land on?

Anyway, here's the link

The Eagles were interested in him before and the Broncos had a deal with the Giants but he failed the physical so he could still go there.

I would love Al Wilson for the pats, but they're already good at linebacker, with Adalius Thomas, Mike Vrabel, Tedy Bruschi and Roosevelt Colvin.

He's most likely to retire now.

His neck injury will most likely force him to if he ever wants to walk again

Can't believe the Broncos released this guy. One of the best LB's in the league.

I'd love the Niners to take a chance on him. We need a veteran presence on D and an ILB. Wilson fits both.

Signing him to a cheap deal would be a no-risk high-reward kind of deal.

it must be a serious injury. because this dude is the real deal. leadership. passion. covers the field. hard hitting.

to drop this guy cold says something. because every team in the league would be after this guy in a heartbeat.

He was due a $5M roster bonus next month and another $1.5M in Sept. so the Broncos really had no choice with his neck problem. He understood that too, real classy in departure.

As for his future, he's going to have a real hard time getting medical clearance. He'll have to sign for the vet minimum and will be watched real closely. Honestly I think he's done.

He took out a full page ad in the Denver Post this Sunday basically thanking the fans for everything they did for him. Everybody loved him, teammates, coaches, and fans. Financially and medically, it just couldn't happen.
