New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel didn't shy away from adding Christian Wilkins to the roster. He hinted that the move could be closer than expected by stating that the team will “have a conversation” about him.
The 28-year-old defensive lineman was released on Thursday following a tense rehab process with the Las Vegas Raiders. The team reportedly urged him to undergo additional surgery, but Wilkins opted for rehab, causing a rift between the two sides. The Raiders responded by voiding $35.2 million in guaranteed money.
Wilkins could be a strong fit in New England despite the complicated exit.
