The Raiders released Christian Wilkins after evaluating his situation for an extended period. Coach Pete Carroll noted that there was no clear path for his return. The team emphasized its commitment to excellence, citing high expectations for all players. Wilkins' release came after he failed to maintain his physical condition following a Jones fracture, which led to the voiding of his guaranteed contract money. The NFLPA has filed a grievance on Wilkins' behalf related to this termination, advocating for his rights as a player.
"We took a long time to make our decision. We watched our way through the whole thing. There's no clear path to his return, and so we just had to move on."
"We have extremely high expectations. I don't care for what year or team it is; it doesn't matter to me. You're either going for it or you are not. "...We are going for it. And these guys are on board. They get it."
