The news that the Miami Dolphins won’t be using the franchise tag on defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is big for the Las Vegas Raiders. The position is the Raiders’ biggest need this offseason, and several notable interior defenders were already scheduled to be free agents. So, Wilkins hitting the market gives the organization another quality target.
The 28-year-old is a well-rounded player who can contribute as a run defender and pass rusher, logging 23 defensive stops against the run and 58 pressures during the 2023 regular season, per Pro Football Focus.
