The Las Vegas Raiders gave up on Christian Wilkins just one year (and five games played) into the four-year, $110 million contract he signed with the team last offseason. This was a classic Tom Telesco signing as the now-former Raiders GM sacrificed roster depth to overspend on a defensive tackle.
Wilkins at $110 million was never a good deal. Wilkins on a cheaper, one-year prove-it deal is a completely different conversation. With Wilkins now on the open market, many Chargers fans have dream of the possibility of the Bolts giving him a chance to get after his old team.
