Wilkinson to retire?

A source said the Dolphins are concerned that defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson might decide to retire rather than play in Denver, which would nullify a Saturday trade that netted a sixth-round draft pick from the Broncos for the 13-year NFL veteran.

The Dolphins weren't able to immediately contact Wilkinson to inform him about the trade because he is on a cruise.

During a Tuesday interview with Broncos media posted on the team's Web site, Denver defensive line coach Bill Johnson said the franchise spoke with Wilkinson's agent and "assume" he wants to play.

"We're in the process of getting in touch with him this week," Johnson said. "It looks like he's still got a lot of juice in his body. ...

"I think once he gets back and sees what we have here and how we're going to use him, I think he'll be excited about it."

I really hope Wilkinson doesnt retire....seems like the Broncos think he wont.
 
He wont retire. I dont even see how that quote from the Broncos' defensive line coach backs up the idea of Wilkinson potentially retiring.

Did not understand this little tidbit.
 
Man that is BS to me. They traded for him and he is their big fat problem now. What a sorry bust that dude has been in the league
 
Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't his retirement be the Bronco's problem? Sure, it's unfair, but that's why you don't just make a trade without looking into this stuff. You don't trade for a 37 year old tub of butter and expect him to pump out 40 years for your team. You make sure he's wanting to play the game.
 
Its in place to keep dedicated players planning on retiring from colluding with their current team to steal draft picks.

For instance, lets say Jason Taylor a lifelong Dolphin wants to retire, but wants to help his team on his way out... he could get them a first round pick and then retire... is that fair?
 
All trades are subject to physicals. If Wilkinson hasn't been to Denver yet, and hasn't taken his physical, trade is voided, regardless of retirement.
 
Wilkpnson's salary is 2.2 million. You know darn well he'll get that paycheck. He's a big lazy sluggo. And that's what he's been his whole career, but he'll do what he did in Miami: Play in a couple of exhibition games like an All Pro and then shut it down when the season starts like he did with us. Physically Big Daddy has always been a beast but "desire" he's alway been a a bust.
 
Wow, these kind of things always happy to Miami. At this point it is very funny. We all get excited but a few days later disaster strikes. :lol:
 
Yeah this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Wilkinson was going to retire last year. the only reason he played was because he wanted to play for the dolphins, and no one else.

And why is this a big deal? It was a mid 6th round pick?
 
Big Daddy probaly just wants to avoid a training camp.
