Packers, Muhammad Wilkerson have ‘mutual interest’ for new deal, per report

Muhammad Wilkerson was one of the Green Bay Packers‘ big free agency signings a year ago, but he went down with a season-ending injury just three weeks in to the season.

There appears to be a good chance he’ll be back in 2019. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, there is “mutual interest” between the Packers and Wilkerson. Wilkerson is set to become a free agent this offseason.

Re-signing the former Pro Bowler makes the most sense. If general manager Brian Gutekunst thought Wilkerson was a good addition to the defense last offseason, why would that be any different now on a similar contract?
