Raiders reportedly signing star defensive tackle Wilkins
One of the top defensive free agents is no longer on the market.
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing Christian Wilkins to a four-year, $110million contract, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
The deal, which was reported on Monday, includes $84.75million in guaranteed money.
Wilkins had spent his first five seasons with the Miami Dolphins after being selected 13th overall in the 2019 NFL draft.
The 28-year-old is coming off a career year, tallying nine sacks and 23 quarterback hits while forcing one fumble.
Among all defensive tackles, Wilkins' 59 QB pressures were fifth most in the NFL.
He has proven to be quite durable, playing in all 17 games in each of the last three seasons and has only missed two games in his career.
With Las Vegas, he'll help bolster a defensive front that is led by Maxx Crosby, who registered a team-high 14 1/2 sacks in 2023.
