uncle flap Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 @GWilson37 George Wilson Before I take off, I want to let all Bills fans know that today I signed a 3 year contract to return to western NY. Words just can't explain http://twitter.com/#!/GWilson37/status/42709778031583232
Thoner7 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) THANK THE LORD The Bills resigned their best Safety today. Now I can only hope Whitner is not here next year so that it guarantees Wilson is starting. This move more than anything else indicates to me that there may be some intelligence in the Bills FO. Its about freaking time that the Bills make a smart decision. Now draft some monster Lineman! Edited March 1, 2011 by Thoner7

FluffHead Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Quality player both on defense and special teams. Well respected in the locker room. He's also our player representative. Glad to have him back.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 The Fred Jackson of our defense…one of the most respected players among both his teammates and his coaches. Great news that George Wilson is returning.
Estro Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Solid move by the front office. Wislon would've been one of the better safeties to hit the open open market this year IMO. I'm guessing 3 years $12 million with $5-$6 mill. guarenteed. A good deal for both sides. Wilson is an adequate safety with decent ball skills and a good special teams player. I'm glad Buddy extended a valuable member to the team. Edited March 1, 2011 by Estro

The Helmet of Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Excellent move. George Wilson is a favorite of mine & I was really hoping they wouldn't let him walk, like they did with Coy Wire. Wilson has come a long way considering he started out as a 7th string receiver. Whitner's return looking less & less likely...
Bill from NYC Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 He is a better player than Lil' Donte, and it's good to see the Bills make a smart move such as this.
Cash Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Nice!! I really like Wilson, whether as a starter or a reserve. If you believe in building through the draft, it's extra critical to re-sign your own guys. Even if the RFA tender holds up, Whitner's probably gone. If Wilson went as well, we might have seen a 2nd or 3rd round pick spent on a new starting SS.
Erik Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 He's an absolute goofball but you must give him credit for this: DonteWhitner TWHITNER @ @GWilson37 congrats G! Ur the hardest working guy I know and U deserve it homie...

Fixxxer Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 This is the right move. Wilson is a class act and a very complete football player, I'm glad they re-signed him.

Delete This Account Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 had just finished talking to George Wilson when news came out. here's story with quotes from George and Posluszny on how encouraged he is by getting one-year tender from Bills. AP story jw
The Senator Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I am absolutely ECSTATIC that the Bills have re-signed ' The Senator ' !!! GO BILLSSS!!!! Reverse the Curse!!!!!
hammie65 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Great move to keep George, along with Wrotto's signing an extension, tenders to Poz, Scott Chandler, Felton Huggins, Garrison Sanborn (long snapper), and if people didn't already know, a tender (wisely IMO)to Donte Whitner as well. The more decent players they keep the more holes they free up to focus on filling in the draft. They can still sign free agents as well if the CBA gets settled before the draft so go Channix! P.S. A buddy of mine pointed out to me (since I wasn't a big fan of risking taking Newton if he falls to us at #3) and said to think about Newton, Spiller\Ganther, and Freddie in the same backfield. Pretty hard to pick a guy to defend and I hadn't thought of it that way but he's absolutely right. I'm no longer afraid of this pick and there's real depth of Defensive players to boot.
