Wilkinson was released by the Skins; should the Bills make him an offer as a B/U?

[WG]

I don't think he's worth that much, maybe $1.5M. He's been overrated since he left Cincy. But, he's an average starter and can rush the passer too.

With depth issues at DT, perhaps it would be good to talk to him. He can spell Adams on passing downs. It'll keep everyone fresh and buy us some insurance in case of injury.

[Pride]

I am all for it... how about 3 years a 1 mil per year?

[Bulldog]

Personality wise, I don't know how he would mesh with this team. Hasn't he had work ethic and character issues in both Cincy and Washington? I have to honestly say that I have never really seen him play much.

[The Spaz]

NO!!!!!!!!!!

[Patrick76777]

I'd pick anybody up for league min.

[Ebenezer]

Agree with Patrick...at the league minimum you can always cut him before he becomes a problem.

[lordofgun]

Definitely!

[WG]

Look, we have tons of cap space that's gonna go unused this year. If we can improve our lot, why not?

I'm sayin' only a 1 yr. or a no-bonus contract.

Yes, Bulldog, I do believe that he's not the best work-ethic guy. He looked overweight on TV last night here.

76,

He won't play for league/vet min. He was scheduled to get $3.5M from the Skins so I can see why they cut him. He wouldn't rework his contract reasonably. But he's worth more than vet-min IMO. And I'm not high on him at all. He is more of a pass rusher however, and given Adam's weight and playing style, perhaps having a pass-rushing DT to rotate in on third downs would be the difference for us this year.

As well, my biggest concern is still depth on our DL. While Wilkinson may not be the best guy, our options are limited. Keep in mind that if Adams or PW goes out w/ an injury, then we're screwed. It may be the same as last year except w/ Spikes backing up the DL. Not as bad, but certainly not good nonetheless.

Besides, guys like Spikes and PW will "keep him in line."

I'm not saying it's the best case scenario, and obviously I don't think it is. But it is a valid option for us to assist w/ depth and pass-rushing ability.

Plus, he may play for us for cheaper. Many teams may not have the available cap space, and how many interested teams have the talent we do to "make a run."

[Brian H]

I think the fact that we have Lebeau and Spikes may lure him here with a small contract even!

[Brian H]

I think wys has ap oint here what happens when Adams needs a breather?? Edwards?? Bannan?? I don't think I'd feel that secure with one of these two anchoring the run control with Williams..

[Bulldog]

I would sign him for the simple reason that if we don't, the Pats will! Seriously, do the Pats need help on the d-line?

[Brian H]

Absolutely and they were looking at Ted Washington......

[Brian H]

Wilkinson had his best years under Lebeau and he would accept a backup role knowing Adams wont play every single down....

[StanMarino13]

I think the Bears were looking for another option then Traylor, or Washington as they wanted to release one of them. I believe Wilkinson was rumoured to possibly go there. I dont think he'll take the vet min from u guys, but if he did that would be great for ur depth.

[Tatonka]

i would ***** LOVE to have that guy as a back up.. are you kidding me??
