‘Somebody’ll pay me if the Jets don’t’: Wilkerson’s rage is QB’s nightmare

HOUSTON — This is Showtime for Muhammad Wilkerson, or perhaps we should call it Mo Time — a chance to remind the Jets, more than anyone, that he deserves to be in the conversation with the great J.J. Watt.

While Watt has been living up to his six-year, $100 million deal, Wilkerson takes out the pain of insult and injustice on opposing quarterbacks and offenses, refusing to allow the smoldering volcano inside him to erupt and burn the bridge of the only organization he wants to play for, even after his wishes for a long-term contract were harshly dismissed.
