Just curious if any of you would like to have him back, because his contract appears trade able and it seems like the Raiders are about to tear it down.

Wilkins turned 29 this past Saturday, he has an $8M salary and $20M roster bonus due this year. I’m definitely not interested in paying that so if the Raiders want to make a move, they likely have to eat a huge part of that. At which point I’d have interest.

I could see the Raiders wanting to get out from that deal as they don’t appear to be a threat in that division any time soon.

If a deal could be worked out on that contract, Raiders might want to give CW away.

Also, what a royal screw up winning that game yesterday, by LV.

Regardless of your thoughts on Christian Wilkins as a player or whatnot. The Dolphins were basically able to replace his production at DT with a 38 year old on a 1 year $2M contract. The DT position just doesn't hold value in today's game. Dolphins were 100% correct signing Sieler to a contract 1/3 of the AAV that Wilkins got and letting Wilkins walk.

I guess if the money was right. He would have to sign highly discounted at this point.

But at this point it's kinda like going back to your ex. It's never the same and never as good once you part ways

Yeah, he is likely nearing the end of his most productive years but even if he isn't, I think he had hard feelings over contract negotiations. I doubt he would want to return, so it would be acquiring a player predisposed to being unhappy with the situation.

No. Lots of wear on the tire.

Find younger …
 
No thanks, he wanted to leave for the money and thats fine but he is 29 and who knows how serious this injury that he sustained is. We should address DT in the draft.

I would rather spend the money we would spend on him on addressing the OL in Free Agency without having to give up draft capital instead of trading for him.

Yeah they went from the number 1 pick to the number 6 pick. Say goodbye to Sanders and Ward.
