Eugene Wilson, DB
Free agent
Entering free agency, the expectation was that Wilson, a five-year veteran, would not be returning to the Patriots. Wilson was a starter at safety on two Patriots' Super Bowl titles teams his first two seasons in the league after making the switch over from corner during his rookie season, 2003. But a combination of nagging injuries and declining play led him to fall out of favor, losing his starting role to James Sanders during the 2007 season.
