Extend Wilkins Now

[Fin-Loco]

So often the Phins wait too long to extend players. We've not had a lot of rookies to extend in recent years but someone like Wilkins should get locked up early now at a discount so we have him for a long time. I know with rookies we can use a fifth year option but the longer we wait the pricier it will probably be. Wilkins is the star of the D line. Lock him up now!

That would be the smart thing to do unfortunately we're not a smart franchise.

Clearly they will low ball him, piss him off with said low ball and then offer him about 15% less than the highest better and see him walk. Great player while he lasted in this joke of a franchise though!

We’re not smart, but we’re not THAT stupid.

He really came on this year. I’d definitely extend him. He’s no game wrecking DL, but def a good piece of the defense.

With our plethora of cash, we need to bring Ogbah back though for sure

 

[circumstances]

probably can't do anything until the new cap money kicks in (not sure when that happens).

takes two to tango.

just because we approach him to extend his deal, doesn't mean he is going to accept.

but i would applaud that approach, and feel confident we could get something done.

Well, he has up to two years left and seems to love playing for us. Why not make him the offer and take care of him and make him want to extend his career with us while he makes more money? This is what smart teams do. They don't wait until their last year and then hope they want to stay with us.

Does anyone truly love playing for this dysfunctional franchise?

That's just negativity for the sake of negativity. We're an NFL team in beautiful and state income tax-free south Florida where some of the prettiest people and places are. They make millions of dollars to play a kid's game.

Wilkins doesn't seem like the type to just go to the highest bidder if all offers are fairly equal or one isn't so good that no man could say no. I don't know him or have any insight, just how he seems to me.

Ogbah and Wilkins before resigning Gesicki!!!

We could use a TE that blocks anyway.

If we hire a good offensive mind I want to keep Mike.


If we don't, may as well move on because he's not going to put up the numbers his contract will command if we can't use him properly.

They extended Baker. Pretty confident they'll do the same with Wilkins
