Raiders, Wilkins agree to 4-year, $110M deal

The Las Vegas Raiders and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins have agreed to a four-year contract worth $110 million with $84.75 million in guaranteed money, his agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Wilkins' average salary of $27.5 million and total practical guarantee both rank third among defensive tackles behind only Chris Jones - who signed a reported position-record five-year, $158.75-million deal on Sunday - and Aaron Donald, according to Spotrac.

The 28-year-old Wilkins was widely viewed as a potential franchise-tag candidate for the Dolphins, but the club ultimately allowed him to hit the open market.

The Raiders have had a long-standing need at defensive tackle and will now pair Wilkins with All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby.

Wilkins spent five years in Miami after being drafted 13th overall in 2019.

The defensive tackle had a career-high nine sacks and 23 quarterback hits in 17 appearances in 2023. He's produced 20.5 sacks, 355 tackles, and four forced fumbles in 81 games across five seasons.
