If you had to choose one? Wilcox is 25, Church is 28.

Initially, I would have let both go but Wilcox's light has come on this 2nd half of the season.

Agreed on all counts.

I wanted Wilcox out of town, but the light has finally come on for him. Time to reap the rewards of the initial investment.

If I have to pick one, it's Wilcox at this point.

Tough to say. Has the light finally come on for Wilcox, or is this just a flash in the pan? I would only resign Wilcox if I think he's going solidify the SS position for the next half decade or so. Otherwise, I give Church a Doug Free-type deal and draft his replacement in a couple of years.

I question retaining Wilcox over Church based on a half-season. I'm glad the light has come on, and if he plays lights out in the next three to four games, I'd probably go with Wilcox, but right now, I'll take the steady Church over a flash.

Say Church gets offered 4/20m
Wilcox 3/9m

Claiborne 4/24m
Carr 3/15m

I would keep Mo and Wilcox......still have Frazier at SS and BJones and Heath at FS

OScan, ABrown at CB

Before the season I'd have said Church for sure, but while neither one of them is going to be a superstar, Wilcox has made more impact plays this year.

Yeah. They've taken turns, really.

Church had the INT that saved the game wk 2 @ WSH, and he had a big INT @ GB.

But Wilcox has silenced players with devastating hits.

They've both stepped up, but it seems like Wilcox sets the tone now.

This is where I stand. I look at Church, and I see a dime a dozen safety. I feel like every team has one. Wilcox might not be as consistent as Church, but he makes more game changing plays than him. He's also 3 years younger, so I'd try to get a good deal done with him.

I would sign JJ over Church, He seems to have settled in as an enforcer and has been making plays. Glad to see the light has finally come on
