The Las Vegas Raiders and their fan base have been worried about the fate of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins all offseason. Former general manager Tom Telesco signed him to a $110 million deal last offseason, but he only played in five games for the team in 2024.
Wilkins has also yet to participate in the team's offseason program, as he suffered a setback in his recovery process. Wilkins was the only player on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list for training camp, but he was seemingly out of his boot and trending in the right direction.
Things came to a screeching halt on Thursday evening, however, when the Raiders released Wilkins in a stunning move.
