Quote from: bunker on August 28, 2025, 03:21:59 AMThe Jets ended up signing 4 wide receivers to their practice roster, but not Wilson. That means he was pretty close to last on their depth chart, and they're felt to have a weak WR core. He has to see the writing on the wall at this point.

I don't know anything about the NFL, but I do know: aren't the Jets supposed to be really bad?  As in, if you don't make the Jets, you ain't making any of the "real" teams?

Has there been any reporters even talking to Wilson?  Seems very odd - I am sure that they have reached out, did I miss something?

Has he gone into hiding?

He doesn't have to talk to random reporters if he doesn't want to. He could be ignoring their calls or his agent is screening them and giving "no comment".

The fact that he is not here means he is waiting for another opportunity. There's not much more to say at the moment.

True enough.  NFL PR rosters are being set as we speak. If he doesn't get an offer he may choose to wait until the season starts and injuries pile up. However there were 100's of players released when final rosters were made. Odds are not good for those that didn't make a PR.

Can't knock the guy for hoping he gets a call.

It's courtesy, Bombers provided him with the game film to tryout for an NFL job, they could have sat him on the PR for his entire first season.  If he commits to a career in the CFL he has the opportunity to make up to $200-$300k/yr. within the next few years.  The door is wide open to improving his life and escaping the hell hole the US has descended into.

It's courtesy to the Bombers to talk to unaffiliated reporters?

Courtesy to the Bomber fan base, literally multiple thousands wondering what he's up to.  Maybe we can convince Schnitzy to call him!

Just a guess but IMO the Bombers know his intentions. Whether that is to wait out the 2025 CFL season or just a few weeks before returning.

Since we added 2 veteran CFL receivers it would seem that Wilson is not planning any immediate return.

Sorry, but I think he's only taking/returning calls to Kyle Walters.

When/if he signs, then we'll hear from him.
