He obviously won't be starting week 1, but who do you think he ends up replacing?
Brown or Demps at safety? Reeves at CB? Does he slide in at the nickel?
I imagine it'd be pretty tough for them to start him out there opposite Bennett after signing Reeves to such a healthy contract, but Reeves is easily the biggest liability in the backfield. Also, Faggins is very apt at the nickel spot and Brown and Demps seem pretty safe at S. Logically, Reeves is the odd man out here, but I just can't imagine Wilson suplanting him given the contract situation.
Maybe this is one of those motivational signings; as in, Reeves better step up and play or he has someone ready to step in behind him. That way, Reeves gets a few weeks to (dis)prove his ability and Wilson has a few weeks to learn the system and get acclimated. Should be interesting to see how this shakes out.
