No idea who he is but I guess he used to be a Falcon

per roto:
Wheeler appeared in all 19 games for the NFC Champion Falcons last season, notching 28 tackles. Now 32, Wheeler's job at this stage of his career is to take up space and provide snaps. He'll have to earn his way onto Arizona's 53-man roster. Jul 27 - 6:15 PM

Obviously the Cards staff is on top of things. After all, he's married to Ashley Nicole of "WAGS of Miami" reality show fame. Like Larry, she's also an 11.

More, I think, adding more backup ballast to roster spots #45 - 53

 

[NMCard]

Is he replacing the lb that they picked up from the Steelers?

Its part of the NFL.

Don't think this one will stick tho.

 

[GuernseyCard]

He signed a big deal in Miami some years ago.

 

[JeffGollin]

He's got - what? - ten years worth of NFL experience.

So he brings veteran ability.

What about special teams?

Interesting video here -- Philip Wheeler blitzing (2013 Raiders) and getting to Matt Ryan (Falcons) in a flash causing a floater and who intercepts it? Tyvon Branch.

Sounds like some veteran ILB insurance in case Bucannon isn't ready to start the season. I would've stuck with Sio Moore, but maybe there were money/playing time/attitude problems there.

He was terrible in preseason. I have no idea why they keep grabbing him. He's lost much of his speed & agility. He's a vet, but not a good one anymore.

!00% agree and saw the same thing. Does he even play STs? What a waste of a roster spot.

It would save time & energy if we constructed a check box form reading:

0 Phillip,Wheeler re-signed.

0 Phillip,Wheeler released.

He is an important person to hold down the inactives list week to week, if he is even on the roster at that time.

I d like to know how much he earns signing 3 days contracts week by week

No, he's better than Phillip "Gimpy " Wheeler.

I'm sure there is a few Kerwynn Williams ones we can use the template for

What I find strange is what the team does with these guys who they apparently feel is pretty good but not quite good enough to keep on the roster, but is one of the first to resign when they need to fill a roster spot, yet no other team ever touches them. If they are that border line in talent why do we never see another team sign them? You would think that out of 31 other teams, one of them would have a need for a player of this type or do they all do this? Are these guys getting paid to just sit and wait or are they really not that good but for whatever reason the coaches take a liking to them.
