Ernest Wilford in Miami

[Rubes]

From Tim Graham's blog (thanks, Tim!):

 

"I'm here to do what's best for the organization," Wilford said. "If they label me No. 1 or No. 2, I don't care. I'm going to go there and try to make plays and help this organization win games."

 

Would you care if they wanted to label you No. 3, I joked.

 

"I can't never be No. 3," he said with a disdainful laugh.

 

Well, how about No. 4?

 

As Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post writes, Wilford heads into tonight's exhibition finale in a tenuous spot and might be in jeopardy of not making the 53-man roster.

 

From the linked article in the Palm Beach Post:

 

Wilford has just three catches for 12 yards in three exhibition games. He has lost the starting job - Derek Hagan is the other first-string wideout - despite solid credentials earned during four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

 

Even though Wilford has a significant contract, there is a remote chance he could be waived Saturday when NFL rosters must be reduced to 53 players.

 

 

Pure speculation, of course, and I'm sure there's no way the guy gets cut. But still. Thought it was interesting in light of how many of us (myself included) were clamoring for the guy.
