Christian Wilkins needs to do some self-reflection.
Surprisingly, the Raiders released him last week after a disagreement about his foot injury. It seems there was another incident that helped the team come to that decision.
Las Vegas voided the $35.2 million of guaranteed money left on Wilkins’ contract last month. He originally signed a 4-year, $110 million deal with the Raiders last offseason.
The Raiders reportedly voided the rest of Wilkins’ guaranteed money due to how he rehabbed the season-ending injury to his left foot, per Adam Schefter.
On Monday, more disturbing news came out about why they had come to that decision.
Christian Wilkins allegedly “playfully” attempted to kiss a teammate on his forehead. He may have thought it was funny, but the unknown teammate did not.

His behavior ultimately led to him losing a lot of money.
Wilkins has recorded 371 tackles, 56 quarterback hits, 45 tackles for loss, 22.5 sacks, and 19 passes defensed across 86 career games with the Raiders and Miami Dolphins.
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel revealed that the team will discuss a potential contract agreement with defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.
Vrabel told reporters Friday that New England will “have a conversation” about signing him following his release from the Raiders last week.
The Patriots are looking to improve on both sides of the ball following a pair of 4-13 finishes in 2023 and 2024.
The Patriots could also bring in Wilkins as they attempt to bolster their run defense. In that area, they ranked No. 23 in the NFL last season by allowing 131.4 yards per game on the ground.
