Wilson Turns His Back After The Big Win
Oakland continued the spending frenzy it started before free agency.The Raiders reached an agreement with former New York Giants free-agent safety Gibril Wilson on a six-year contract worth $39 million, including $16 million guaranteed. The Giants had a rough Friday. They lost Wilson, and linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor.
This really sucks for the Giants. There is no way they could have afforded Wilson, but whatever. He will most likely never win a championship in Oakland, but there is a small chance when Russell starts. Can you really blame him though? I think all of us would take the extra $2.5 million. Even if we say we won't we all know we would. Best of luck to him, but this really sucks for the Giants who's secondary now looks like Aaron Ross - Corey Webster - James Butler - Michael Johnson. That will not win you a Super Bowl anytime soon. This move also doesn't make sense for the Raiders, but neither did the GIANT contract to Tommy Kelly.
