[QUOTE="PackerLegend, post: 144450, member: 518"] Wilson sets news conference to thank Denver fansBy John Clayton ESPN.com Denver Broncos linebacker Al Wilson scheduled a news conference Friday to announce he is being released by the Denver Broncos after eight seasons, sources said. Wilson Wilson called a 4 p.m. ET meeting with the media in Denver to discuss his future, which will not include the Broncos, the team that made him a No. 1 draft choice in 1999 and allowed him to grow into the leadership role on playoff caliber defenses. Wilson leaves the Broncos as a four-time Pro Bowl player and one of the top defenders in franchise history. Last month, the Broncos tried to trade him to the New York Giants for a third-round choice. That trade didn't happen because he failed a physical. He had back problems last year along with a thumb injury. Wilson's rights returned to the Broncos, who were, at the time, seemingly willing to keep him on the roster. With a $5.2 million salary and a $600,000 roster bonus, Wilson didn't fit into the Broncos salary cap after a busy offseason. His release will save the Broncos $1.63 million. Wilson wanted to hold a press conference to thank the Broncos and the fans for their support through his NFL career. [/QUOTE]
