Defensive End Chris Wilson has signed a 3-year deal with the Washington Redskins of the NFL. Wilson has started every game in his 2 years with the Lions recording 70 tackles and 8 sacks. "I am young enough and at the best stage in my life to go for this opportunity," the 24-year-old told TSN. "I am thankful to the Lions for giving me a chance and I plan on making the most of this one with the Redskins." Click on link for full article...

laxpck Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 F Kurt Warner Maybe he is the next Mike Sellars (who came from the CFL too) Need a couple educated fans from Canada to chime in on this guy, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stwasm Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 They have him listed at 240 lbs. That is either a misprint, or they are thinking linebacker. Maybe they could put him in Warrick Holdman's spot? Let's just hope he can duplicate his success on the NFL level. But, I like the signing if, for nothing else, some depth.

Riggo#44 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I saw his wieght and thought situational pass rusher ie N.D. Kalu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uno Boss Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That remains very much to be seen... I wonder if this statement would have been made if it was one of these over hyped draft choices everyone is talking about.... Its a good find... The guy is from A championship team so he must have been at least decent... Why cant he get the same respect and be looked upon as a replacement for one of the draft picks every talks about we gave away?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWinzit Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I saw his wieght and thought situational pass rusher ie N.D. Kalu. But Kalu was 6'3" 265. I also have trouble with this one. Worth a shot though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art McDonough Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Anything's worth a try but he is about the size of Sean Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiLfan Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 so how many million was the signing bonus and how many draft picks did we forfeit? j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That remains very much to be seen... This and the other response about the FO might have maybe could have made a good signing is outright dumb. What did you want the Redskins to not try and improve this offseason? In life if you want to be nothing, than do nothing, say nothing, try nothing. Really, what is risk with signing this guy who was productive in the CFL? He did not cost a draft pick,,, :doh: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
