Adrian Wilson expected to announce retirement at press conference Monday

The Arizona Cardinals announced there would be a press conference on Monday at 1PM Arizona time at the team facility. Former Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson, team president Michael Bidwill and general manager Steve Keim will participate in the media session.

The general speculation is Wilson will announce his retirement from the NFL, perhaps having signed a one-day contract to retire a member of the Cardinals, the team that drafted him originally and with which he played though the 2012 season.

Wilson announced he wished to continue his NFL career this offseason, but has not signed with any team.

It is also believed he could join the organization in some fashion, whether it is as a member of the coaching staff or a part of the front office.

Wilson played for the Cardinals from 2001-2012, playing in 181 games, intercepting 27 passes and collecting 25.5 sacks in his career.

After being released by Arizona after the 2012 season, he joined the New England Patriots, but spent the 2013 season on injured reserve without playing in any game. He was on the Chicago Bears roster during 2014 training camp, but did not make the final roster.

The former star safety will one day be part of the Ring of Honor. That announcement perhaps won't come yet. If I had to guess, he will work in the front office in some capacity rather than on the coaching staff.
