As expected, the Raiders have announced that they\u2019re releasing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, only one year into a four-year, $110 million deal.<\/p>\n
As expected, the Raiders will try to avoid remaining guarantees.<\/p>\n
As expected, Wilkins has already filed a grievance fighting the move.<\/p>\n
Per multiple reports, the Raiders have voided $35.25 million in remaining guarantees. Wilkins will challenge the move via a grievance.<\/p>\n
Rumors already are flying as to what happened to justify the voiding of the guarantees. It could be related to his foot rehab. It could be a conduct-detrimental move, like the Ravens did with safety Earl Thomas in an effort to avoid his guarantees. Or it could, in theory, be both.<\/p>\n
Regardless, the relationship is ending in a very bad way. And there will be a struggle over whether they owe him the rest of his guarantees.<\/p>\n
Wilkins will become a free agent, once he\u2019s released. Whether he lands with another team is to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As expected, the Raiders have announced that they\u2019re releasing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, only one year into a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-22019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
