Four years. $110 million. $84.75 million guaranteed.
The Raiders brought out the big financial arguments to afford Christian Wilkins. This is what NFL Media reports.
The 28-year-old was drafted 13th in the 2019 Draft by the Dolphins. Since then, he has gained momentum, recording 9 sacks in 17 games last season. A total to which he added 65 tackles, 23 quarterback hits, 2 passes deflected in a forced fumble.
Christian Wilkins to revive the Raiders defense
Having just played in the playoffs with Miami, Christian Wilkins arrives in a completely different kind of project in Las Vegas.
In Nevada, the defense needs to be rebuilt. Maxx Crosby is one of the few elite players on the squad. Wilkins will join him to help compose a formidable line.
Behind, new coach Antonio Pierce and his staff will have to patiently continue to rebuild. Not to mention the quarterback problem. Wilkins may not be ready to see the playoffs again, but he's safe for a few generations.
