ChadJohnson-85 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 According to a NFC source, the Bengals worked out versatile veteran defensive back Eugene Wilson Tuesday.Wilson, second-round pick of the Patriots in 2003, moved on to Tampa Bay this offseason and was cut after playing in the final three preseason games with eight tackles and a sack.Wilson, 28, brings a load of experience playing both safety and cornerback, something the Bengals could need at corner after the release of Deltha O'Neal left them with No. 3 and 4 corners that have a total of seven NFL games.The 5-10, 195-pound Wilson made 55 starts with the Pats as well as starts in two Super Bowls. He played in 11 games in '07 and one of his six starts came in Cincinnati with three tackles.It's doubtful the Bengals sign any veterans before Opening Day, but Wilson could be an option if safety Chinedum Ndukwe (knee) can't go next week in the home opener against Tennessee and beyond.Also on the road is former Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson. After visiting Baltimore Tuesday night, Anderson heads to Tampa Wednesday morning with a trip to San Diego also looming.Word is former Bengals running back Rudi Johnson's one-year deal in Detroit is for $1.1 million.http://bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=7010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 And please sign this guy now why wait if they wait someone else like the jets will pick this guy up. You know through the course of the year Dexter Jackson will be injured like he always is, plus its not like we have the best CB/S in town so please just sign this guy and get it over with now.

Glad to here that. I think he can contribute here and that will be a good pick-up. Especially with the concerns at WR right now, he should be a welcome sight.

I'm more interested in Jackson than Wilson, but neither sounds like a bad move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickey44 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I hope they sign both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgilgris Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 What about getting Lito Sheppard for a 6th round draft pick. We have the cap space and are in desperate need for a veteran and a corner??? I dont believe this would be considered part of the old washed up Free Agent pick up.

TippCityRick Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Wilson is primarily a safety and they're fine there. I look for a corner to be signed after the first game and Castille added to the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
