Steelers close to deal w/ Wilson
 

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05067/467886.stm

The Steelers worked late into last night trying to sign Plaxico Burress' replacement after signing kicker Jeff Reed and cornerback Willie Williams earlier in the day.

Receiver Cedrick Wilson, who had his breakout season in San Francisco last year when he caught 47 passes for 641 yards, spent the entire day and much of the evening with the Steelers as they negotiated a contract with agent Tom Condon.

5-10 ???? I thought for sure we would go tall. 5-10??

Re: Steelers close to deal w/ Wilson
 

my thoughts are the same man , hope they see somthing in wilson that i cant.

Re: Steelers close to deal w/ Wilson
 

wilson is alot like randle el..I guess they feel Zamir Cobb can step up, and we can still make some noise WR wise in the draft if we choose.

Re: Steelers close to deal w/ Wilson
 

Cobb I forgot about him, lets hope we have something there.

Re: Steelers close to deal w/ Wilson
 

well in this draft there is a big chance of picking up a big WR in draft very late.

Re: Steelers close to deal w/ Wilson
 

I'd be quite surprised if we dont go WR on early day 2 atleast.. we have alot of questions marks behind El and Ward. Mays? Doering ? now wilson? Cobb? Alot of upside w/ Cobb, but he's young. Mays shows up in pre season, then drops off radar in the regular season usually.
