Strong safety Gibril Wilson (#28) returning an interception.
Free agency hasn't even started (tonight at midnight) and the Dolphins have already scored an "A" by signing Gibril Wilson.
Wilson played one year with the Raiders and lead their defense in tackles. He was a cap casualty when they needed to free space to sign their best player, CB Nnamdi Ashomouga.
Wilson played the previous four-years for the NY Giants. This includes their Super Bowl victory.
You all know I'm a Yeremiah Bell fan. I'm a tad verklempt about this. I'll post something about that shortly.
But there's nothing wrong with signing Gibril Wilson. It's a good football decision. Wilson is a younger, quicker version of YB. Wilson isn't quite as ferocious a hitter, but he is a thumper nonetheless.
The Dolphins just got younger and quicker on defense.
The deal was for five-years, $27.5 million dollars. The $8 million guaranteed is a reasonable figure.
