The Miami Dolphins decided that defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, a former first-round pick who became a quality starter in the NFL, was not worth retaining at what became a nine-figure price tag in free agency. Undaunted by those concerns, the Las Vegas Raiders handed him a four-year contract worth $110 million with $84 million guaranteed.
Wilkins played just five games with the Raiders before a season-ending injury closed the book on his 2024 season. Little did Wilkins (or Raiders fans) know, but that Week 5 game would also be the final time he would suit up in a Las Vegas uniform due to his consistent injury problems.
