Numbers wise it doesn't make sense

Id cut Bourne instead, he's average and hopefully Hurd will be bumping him shortly anyways.

Agree. Bourne is gone when Coleman is back. They'll carry 4 RBs and 1 less WR.

Unless they can find a deal for one of the RBs

This dude doesn't just run hard; he cracks skulls.

Agree, every time Wilson is on the 5 to goal line he's pretty much a sure bet to get you a TD. And even though, Bourne has done some good things, I would make him the inactive over Wilson. I have little doubt Hurd can't replace Bourne.

This may have already been mentioned but did anyone see that great block by Wilson to give Garoppolo just that much more time to complete the TD pass to Deebo in the Bengals game? This guy is becoming just a better overall football player.

I'm liking what I'm seeing from Wilson, needs not to fumble when we're in the red zone tho.

Patriots are doing it with a 2017 second round db the raiders picked.

If you are on the PS squad, anyone can sign you away. He isn't going back to the PS.

You have to sign the contract . They can't just force you to join their squad. That's why Patriots threw 53man roster money at the DB just to sit on the practice squad and learn.

It was just an idea. And no sure if Wilson would even do it. But seems like players love being here. If it wouldn't work out then there's no chance in hell I send him to the practice squad.

Ah. Didn't know this was allowed. I learned something new. Wouldn't a player have to clear waivers to make it to the practice squad though?

Agreed. Use Coleman as the 5th receiver.

They don't have to cut anyone. Someone will be inactive though.

I was glad he got promoted from the practice squad. I was a little disappointed that he didn't make the 53. He is sure making his mark now he has been given the opportunity. I think they would be crazy to cut him. Someone will grab him of waivers and there goes one of our solutions to our red zone problem we had for the last few years. There are others to cut before him.

My bad. You're right in that case. He'd have to go through waivers. I was thinking about the condition where he's already on the practice squad, at that point it's his choice on where he goes. Which is how Belichick pulled that move.

Man, what a catch by this UDFA. The pass was behind him, Wilson adjusted and made a CLUTCH catch. He isn't known for receiving outta the backfield, but he cane up big when his number was called. This kid is a grinder

Long Live Jeff f**king Wilson

But he can catch. That's something to consider for a team like this.

Gotta have one of the best TD:Touches ratio in the NFL.
