PFT: Steelers acquire J.J. Wilcox in trade with Buccaneers

[dfense]

Nah he actually played well for us last year..Just too many people already had it in their heads that he'd never be any good.

After several years the Cowboys figured out how to hide him in their secondary.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

They'll tire of him also.

He'll get a "kill-shot" in once in a while and then blow a 1/2 dozen tackles that he should have made.

Well, I wouldn't mind hearing Wilcox lights up Antonio Brown in practice and then misses 1/2 dozen tackles.

Can't believe anyone would trade a pick for JJ. Stupid stealers

He is a good fit there. 3rd safety ... they will appreciate him being a thumper, in the cold snowy weather.

 

[Cumart21]

And water is wet.

The guy is not a good safety.

He survived as long as he did in Dallas only due to a lack of talent at the position.

No, survived because of his rookie contact.

Steelers acquire J.J. Wilcox in trade with Buccaneers

Wilcox signed a two-year contract with the Bucs this offseason, but Tampa Bay decided he was expendable after setting its initial 53-man roster yesterday. Wilcox previously played four years with the Cowboys, who drafted him in the third round in 2013.

That didn't take long ..

One team's flaming hot garbage, is another team's, and then another team's, eventual treasure.

 

[Redball Express]

Report I read on rotoworld basically said hes been underwhelming this offseason. Suprised they flipped him so quickly.

Not me.

Obviously we dodged a bullet letting him walk.

He can hit..

but cant cover.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Well 1 good thing for Wilcox is he has a way better Chance to win a ring now.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

After several years the Cowboys figured out how to hide him in their secondary.

Yet he played more than ever last year.

he should be a good match with them .

 

[dfense]

I agree, last year was his best year.

 

[Pants]

I enjoyed watching the big hits...so it is the best of both worlds for me as the AFC games that I get on TV each week ALWAYS feature Pittsburgh...so, I can watch his bigs hits and not have to stick around to watch the whiffs

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wow....never seen this happen but I guess this is equivalent to being cut after being signed which happens.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Tampa ain't playing around. Out in his first training camp

Goes to show he was a system guy.

Now no system..now no work.

 

[black label]

Take terrible angles at all times?

Is he related to Heath?

 

[robjay04]

This just goes to show you that NFL teams have no loyalty to their players...this is why I don't mind when players try to make everything they can considering they're putting their bodies on the line for these teams.

Wilcox had a few teams interested---he likely joined the Bucs and received a lot of empty promises. Now he is with a team that he didn't choose.

 

[LocimusPrime]

What's devin street doing nowadays

 

[RoyTheHammer]

I didn't think he played well– Better than previous seasons but a JAG none-the-less.

Obviously the Bucs didn't think he was much of a safety either.

Obviously..they didn't realize they had a chance to upgrade to a pro bowl safety instead.

OR...

The Bucs found out Wilcox was not the answer and went another direction.
