I imagine we'll try it out in camp and probably preseason too.. what's it hurt? smaller DEs often get moved to OLB

It certainly wont hurt much, but to teach an old dog new tricks is different than converting a drafted rookie from DE to OLB.

My gut is telling me this aint gunna work, but it is worth a shot, I like Wilson.

The thing that is scary is that it has come to this.
What we need is a real OLB and a real DE not someone who plays one on TV

He said he's played it before.. I don't know at what level though. Pretty sure he was DE in the CFL
