This is the voice of reason. Cutting him is a terrible business decision and a complete overreaction. Right now he is looking like a total screw up—obviously. But it doesn’t appear he is hurting the team in any way or that he is some major distraction. And cutting him will cost us money not save us money the next two years. So the smart move is to do everything you can in the off season to turn him around and try to save the draft capital you invested. You do this until cutting him makes financial sense or he becomes a detrimental distraction to the team. That is the smart play.
Agree, this is the right thing to do for the team and for Wilson, get him help.
This is a good example for clauses in all contracts for the team to cut ties with no financial implications, in saying that it needs to be within reason for the player as well.
Most fans scream “cut him” and have no idea what the cap implications are on any player they get mad at.
True. Probably shouldn’t let it bother me.
If Wilson was an actual starter and his antics were hurting the team... I'd be down with cutting him.
But he's not and they aren't. We'll see next year. And maybe actually do a trade if not.

I still vote for a bag of coke, a handful of hookers, and an anonymous phone call to the local police.
1/2 oz should do the trick
Who would trade for him if he doesn't shape up?
And if he does why would you trade him?
I meant try to trade.
But seems very shortsighted to get rid of him at this point, to me.
I'd trade this dude for a 4th rounder right now. No questions asked.
Ahh I was happy for him personally
I’m happy for him as well. I just hate losing quality players.
JRob did the right thing not giving Conklin a huge deal and signing Kelly.
Been better if he had traded him the year before if he knew he wasn't long term
Didn’t he play pretty bad tho? I’m thinking the season after his ACL.
Nah. He helped us to the AFC championship game last year. Wouldn't trade that for pretty much anything. And beating the Pats and Ravens to do it!
This will help improve our comp pick because they take honors like that into consideration
we should get a 3rd for Conklin
Mariota would net a 5th but will probably be canceled out by the Beasley signing. But their is a chance Beasley doesn’t count against us since he was released before week 10....in years past that would be the case, but I think the new CBA changed that rule and Beasley will count against us
