New Orleans Saints: Wade Wilson, former New Orleans Saints quarterback, dies at age 60

He was more of a Cowgirl and Viking than a Saint.

RIP nonetheless.

Likely passed from diabetes complications. I think I remember reading somewhere he has a toe amputated.

1993 Saints QB's
Wade Wilson (14) / Mike Buck (1) / Steve Walsh (1)

Had to jog my memory on when Wade was here.

Damn that's young. RIP Wade.

If I member correctly he replaced the Cajun cannon... He burned hot at first... But faded... But he was old by the time he came to us. 60 is way too young. I think he went on to be a coach. I remember him as a solid smart choice.

He was the QB the year the Saints started 5-0 then ran into the Jim Haslet coached Steeler defense that figured out how to stop them. They ended up 8-8

Wilson served as Cowboys quarterbacks coach from 2007 to '17, helping develop Tony Romo into the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown passes ...
