Change of scenery is all he can hope for...he remained positive in SEA, and never a peep out of him trouble wise, but again, he had all sorts of opportunity in all situations over the years, and consisently did little to nothing.
His draft combines (which Davis loved) was off the chart, and he was a humble, smart and well spoken guy out of the NCAA, but just not wired mentally for the pro game it seems.

ya, for a 4th and a 7th not expecting big things
but you never know, wouldn't be the first guy who just needed time, Wimbley was thought of as a bust in Cleveland but has been playing at a pro-bowl level in his year and 5 games in Oakland
and if Curry can ever realize his potential, Wimbley/McClain/Curry could be one of the great LB groups in the league for a long time. All in their early-mid 20's
