World Champion Now A Raider

Former Tennessee Vols free safety Gibril Wilson didn’t wait around to get his Super Bowl championship ring before leaving the New York Giants for the Oakland Raiders.

Is that a smart move?

Maybe it’s all about the money.

Wilson signed a six-year, $39 million contract with Oakland, including $16 million guaranteed.

Not that the former Tennessee star didn’t deserve it.

He has made 284 solo tackles since entering the NFL in 2004. That’s the most solo tackles of any safety since he’s been in the NFL.

It had to be hard to leave the glamour and the limelight of New York for the Raiders.
