  Jaguars | Adrian Wilson likely to become Jacksonville's GM    Thu Jan 27, 12:09 PM

Arizona Cardinals vice president of pro scouting Adrian Wilson is reportedly close to becoming the next general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Mike Jurecki of AZCardinals.com.

Footballguys view: GM Trent Baalke is still in place for now. The Jaguars should've already relieved him of his duties when they let HC Urban Meyer go but here we are. Hiring Wilson would likely get Buccaneers OC Byron Leftwich to come on board as their new head coach.

  Bears | Eight players cut    Sat Aug 23, 11:18 PM

The Chicago Bears have released SS Adrian Wilson, DT Nate Collins and OG Dylan Gandy. The team also informed RB Michael Ford, WR Greg Herd, WR Kofi Hughes, CB Derricus Purdy and CB Peyton Thompson that they have been waived.

Footballguys view: Ford was not impressive this year in training camp or the preseason. The Bears selected Kadeem Carey in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft to be the primary backup behind Matt Forte. Shaun Draughn has looked good in camp, and he's essentially taken Ford's spot.
