TEAMS: Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans
The Buffalo Bills decided they were through with George Wilson, but the veteran safety shouldn't have trouble finding work.
CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora reported Wednesday that Wilson already has visits set up with the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans after the Bills released the seven-year veteran on Monday.
Wilson turns 32 next month, but he started all 16 games for the Bills last season and remained effective against the run. His coverage skills slipped some, but he's arguably a better option than Amari Spievey in Detroit. The Titans, meanwhile, clearly aren't thrilled with Jordan Babineaux.
