With the log jam at LB, it would be seamless to let Wilson walk. Feels like Griffin or Woodbey as the WIL and first one off the bench when a DL comes off.

Hopefully the Canadians get more work this season, but neither they or Ayers has had the defensive snaps to win this battle if it is one. I say Woodbey wins it out of camp with Griffin staying in his role of the last couple of years.

I don't really know, but voted Woodbey. I think if Wilson was slotted in for the spot, he would have been signed already. He may get signed at lower salary to compete at camp, but I don't think the spot will be gifted to him. The 2 Canadians got so few reps on D, I can't see them starting until they've had more defensive reps, which may occur this year. Griffin is great, but Woodbey seemed to be coming on in the second half of the season and had a higher trajectory. It think both Griffin and Woodbey will get lots of reps on D whoever it is.

I think if they sign Wilson it will be with the expectation he'll start. Bring him to TC just to compete wouldn't seem right.

As mentioned the fact he hasn't been re-signed yet may be an indication he won't be. However, he could be re-signed at any time in theory.

This is such a hard question LOL, I need to think about it, why do we have to choose just one LOL

That's what makes the question interesting.

He was paid $224K last season so SMS is a huge question. He'll be 31 in July and not the biggest receiver we might consider.

I suppose speaking with his agent wouldn't hurt but I'm guessing he wants more than last year.

Will he re-evaluate his career and become a slash?  FB/QB?  Or even a TE/QB.  I have to wonder if he would have had the chops to stick on an NFL roster as a TE, or if any team even considered it or offered the chance.

He player Rec in college when he couldn't get on the field as QB, maybe if no one offers him a QB slot, he rethinks the position?

Streveler is not a big enough guy to play FB or TE in the NFL. I know he was a physical runner as a QB in the CFL, but he'd get broken in half if he tried to play outside his weight class like that.

Yes we need to add some juice to our receiving core, so it may be an ideal fit.

But with all our high paid vets, we are not going to be successful unless we find some impact players on their rookie deals.

Would be ideal replacement for Schoen.

We don't know what the future holds but he will try his best to recover and I hope he can land a job.  I think he still has something to provide, in the right situation and price.  A very tough road ahead but that didn't stop him last time.  I think he might be employed by mid season if he have recovered and someone has injury or depth issues.  Could also get a PR spot waiting for that type of situation to arise.  A betting man would say he is done but I am not betting against this beast.  While he struggled at times in his career and recently, I don't think some are giving him enough credit.  He has played professionally in two league for a long time and that is an incredibly hard thing to do.  I am proud of him and he can hold his head high if this in the end.  Never a fan of kick the guy at the end or when they are down.
