The Las Vegas Raiders have just made the most shocking move of the NFL’s summer: releasing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who they just signed to a four-year, $110 million contract last free agency period. You might be wondering how the Raiders were able to move on from Wilkins, who had $84.75 million guaranteed on his deal, so quickly.
Well, there’s a story to that. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Wilkins turned down the opportunity to have a second surgery on his foot. Last year, a Jones Fracture forced him to go on the injured reserve.
