Wilkinson cut

[Jttsaz]

I think do what u can to bring this guy into camp...he is an immediate upgrade a DT, a run stuffing stud...and he makes the entire defense better...and more respectible in the eye's of Offensive coordinators...plus it show the league that the Cards are changing thier ways..and gives the team and the fans an extra boost going into the pre-season. I say DO IT! Now as to wether hey will or not? I don't think Graves and co are as desperate to win as us poor Cards fans are.....Not saying they don't want to win...but bing a Cards fan make you very impatient...we want everything and now
But can you blame us....

Sign him off waivers for his current contract, so he can't "go somewhere else for less", then tell him, the Cards will be happy to pay his current contract this year, if he can make the starting lineup. (that puts the pressure one).

If he's can't make the starting lineup, then he's either out on waivers or he can play with a re-negiotaded reduced salary contract in the rotation.

Meaning you'd want Bryant? A guy with just as many issues as Boston? That's more farfetched than us getting Wilkinson.

Do you mean THIS Antonio Bryant? "Bryant was injured Saturday morning in the first workout of Camp Parcells and returned to Dallas after the second session that afternoon. Sunday morning, he had an operation to remove bone spurs from his left pinky finger. The chips came out and the wound was closed with six stitches, with a splint covering the finger. Bryant then flew back to San Antonio, suited up and rejoined his teamates on the field."

Maybe we could get the Cowboys to take Duane Starks for him.

I'd call that the "Parcells Effect".

He's a well documented head case. But, hey, maybe he's grown up. It's not like he's going to be released though.

I have never seen anything so can you back up your statement with an article or anything?

I doubt they'll pick him up on waivers. The team that picks him up also picks up his contract. This doesn't matter for us, since we got the cap room, but it would matter for 27 teams in the league. Only the Vikings, Saints, Texans, Eagles and us have enough cap room to pick his existing contract. And they are probably the only teams that can sign him anyway, so why claim him?

Wilkinson wants garanteed money, because if he was content with a incentive-ladden contract, he would have taken the Redskin offer. The only teams that have enough cap room to sign him to a contract with garanteed money are the same five teams. My guess is that the Saints and us are the only teams in the league with both the interest and money to sign him.

I think Wilkinson be be a great addition to this team, because we lack Run-stuffing DTs and Graves should sign him as soon as he clear waivers. The contract? Simular the the new deal Norman Hand got in Seattle. I think it was something like this: A back-loaded two year deal with only a $200.000 SB. $1.8M base the first year and $2.4M base the second year. So the team would be paying him $2M (including the SB) the first year and if he indeed has lost a step he can be released with only a $100.000 cap hit. Seems fair to me...

To heck with clearing waivers!

We need not take that chance and just pick him up off of waivers. We need to spend the money anyhow!
