Christian Wilkins, the veteran defensive line player who was released by Las Vegas raiders on Thursday, would have embraced a teammate on the front, who was offended.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the situation on Monday, adding that the Wilkins incident with the teammate did not only contribute to that he is cut off from the raiders.
Wilkins faces a Jones fracture in his left foot, which he suffered in October 2024.

The report indicates that the incident occurred in a team meeting room last week, ESPN having a source saying that it was “fun”. However, the teammate in question has not seen Wilkins’ interaction in this way.
A complaint was filed with the Human Resources of Raiders after the incident.

On the injury front, the raiders would have canceled the remaining $ 35.2 million remaining in the guaranteed money on the Wilkins contract because of the way in which he dealt with his rehabilitation mission after the injury. Wilkins was released with the appointment of a termination veteran completed, by Schefter.
Wilkins asked the NFL Players Association to file a grievance in its name because of the will of the raiders to cancel its guaranteed money, and they did it on Thursday.
Wilkins signed an $ 110 million contract over four years, which included 84.75 million dollars guaranteed, with Las Vegas in free agency last year.
He was one of the best defensive plated in the League with the Miami dolphins, which included a nine -hour career season in 2023 before hitting a free agency. Wilkins has accumulated 20.5 bags and 355 combined combined over 81 games with the Dolphins.

In five games before his injury in 2024, Wilkins collected two bags and 17 plated combined for the raiders. He needed surgery for the fracture of Jones, which ended his first season in Las Vegas.
