Wilkins signed a four-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2024 offseason that was worth up to $110 million. He and his agent will now be filing a grievance with the NFLPA in an attempt to recoup the guaranteed money that was voided.

“This franchise has a Commitment to Excellence on and off the field,” the Raiders said in a statement after Wilkins’ release. “With no clear path or plan for future return to play from Christian, this transaction is necessary for the entire organization to move forward and prepare for the new season.”
