Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Wilson was arrested Wednesday night after being accused of hitting his former girlfriend at an area restaurant. Wilson, who was entering his eighth NFL season, signed with the Steelers on March 8, 2005 as an unrestricted free agent from the San Francisco 49ers. In three seasons with the Steelers Wilson caught 81 passes for 1,162 yards and two touchdowns. Wilson's departure solidifies Nate Washington's status as the top receiving weapon behind starters Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes.
