Giants eye Bronco LB Wilson

Giants GM Jerry Reese still hasn't signed any free agents, but he might be on the verge of making his second trade. Reese is exploring the possibility of trading for Denver Broncos middle linebacker Al Wilson, according to a team and a league source. The sources both stressed that the talks are in their "initial stages," though a report on the NFL Network indicated Wilson could be traded to the Giants over the weekend.

Wilson, 29, is a four-time Pro Bowler with 21-1/2 career sacks and is scheduled to make $5.2 million this season. He's being pursued by the Lions and Eagles as well.
