Eugene Wilson No Longer A Patriot


In unsurprising news, it looks like underachieving safety Eugene Wilson will no longer call New England his home. He will become a free agent on Friday, effectively ending his stint with the New England Patriots. This comes as no surprise, as the often injured safety has seen his playing time decrease since filling in for Lawyer Milloy in 2003.

Wilson was a big part of the Patriots success during their 2003 run, as he was an important piece of the Patriots' overwhelming defense. He made a lot of great plays and big hits in the post season before injuring himself in the Super Bowl against the Carolina Panthers.

"I'm looking forward to moving on, and at the same time, I wish the best of luck to the Patriots because I don't think I'll be back there this year," Wilson said yesterday. "I'm excited to get into free agency to see what is out there."

Well, if any team needs a safety to play a game or two during the season, Wilson is their man. To say that he has lost a step due to his injuries is a compliment. Coming back from several injuries is certainly hard, but aside from his interception off of Phillip Rivers in the AFC Championship game, he hasn't made that many great plays.

Other than that, hes a prick in person who doesn't tip at the bar and expects to be treated like Tom Brady everywhere he goes (trust me)
