The Las Vegas Raiders released defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, voiding $35.2 million in guaranteed contract money. The release followed a dispute over Wilkins' recovery from a Jones fracture. Wilkins' rehabilitation timeline was longer than expected, leading to disagreements over a second surgery. He filed a grievance with the NFLPA to recover the voided funds. This decision comes after a significant contract extension last year, and shortly after new GM and coach leadership took over.
