Al Wilson visits Lions...

According to The Denver Post, the Lions are visiting with MLB Al Wilson today. This would be a nice sign, especially since Wilson is considered a "street" free agent. He wouldn't count in the free agent scoreboard for free agent compensation; which is a plus. He's 30 years old and coming off a neck injury in 2006, so he's had a full year to heal. The Lions have shown prior interest in him, so I'd expect it's very possible a deal could be had today. If the Lions signed Wilson, they'd most likely move Paris Lenon to the strong side, and Boss Bailey wouldn't be brought back. Bailey is as much a medical risk as Wilson, but Wilson is a better player.
