Steelers acquire safety Wilcox from Tampa Bay

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

From Schefter via twitter:

Buccaneers traded safety JJ Wilcox and 2019 seventh-round pick to Steelers for a 2018 sixth-round pick, per source.

Steelers acquired S J.J. Wilcox

Signed to a two-year deal in March, Wilcox apparently struggled to fit in with the Bucs. He would not have been a starter even if Tampa had not just acquired T.J. Ward, but that signing seems to have sealed his fate. Wilcox only started four games for the Cowboys last season, but he had his best year as a pro.

Tombert finally gets it. Ben's time is about over and moves like this, and Haden, are well past due.

Is Mitchell healthy yet?

 

[Spike]

So we're paying him $3M a year?


J.J. Wilcox signed a 2 year, $6,250,000 contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including $3,125,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $3,125,000.

No we are paying him a little over 2 million . The Bucs payed the signing bonus.

guess McCullers is getting cut until Mitchell comes back?, then Golden gets the axe and McCullers comes back?

 

[FordFairLane]

I think this means bye bye to Golden IMHO.

Ben has secretly told them that he's hanging them up after this year, that's what set the fire to them I bet

I think this bodes of Mitchell being injured more seriously than we thought.

That's certainly a possibility. They are sure trying to bolster that secondary in a hurry that's for sure.

Oh and I have no chance of tracking what draft picks we will have next year. They are coming and going faster than I can keep up.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

So insurance? Or is this reason to celebrate?

dude sure seems to lay the ******* wood when the ******* wood needs to be laid.

This kid is a wrecking ball. He can do some damage. Welcome to Pittsburgh

 

[Steel Ballin]

How good is he really? He's just 25 and both Dallas and Tampa have let him go.

When if he does, I hope he would do something like this. Hope he isn't but this makes a lot of sense

 

[Supersteeler]

He plays with a little bit of nasty. I like it.

 

[Steelz]

Wooooh boy! He's a hitter! I like this!
