The Christian Wilkins standoff is freezing the one move Chiefs should make

The problem is glaring. The solution is obvious. That Christian Wilkins remains a free agent and a team like the Kansas City Chiefs hasn't even kicked the tires on a visit feels like a disconnect. Unfortunately, things aren't so straightforward as "problem meets solution."

For the sake of review, in case the problem isn't so glaring or the solution so obvious, Wilkins was, as of one year ago, the newest member of the elite $100 million defender club. Only 13 players in the NFL have signed a contract with nine figures attached, and the Las Vegas Raiders coughed up the hefty financial commitment in free agency in 2024.
