Bobby Bonilla once vowed defiantly after the Mets signed him to that five-year, $29 million in December 1991 that New York would not wipe the smile off his face, and we learned quickly enough that it did.
New York has claimed another victim, a malcontent football mercenary who cheated the Jets and himself.
Muhammad Wilkerson’s only contribution since he was signed to a five-year, $86 million deal in 2016 is the $11 million in cap savings that will help the Jets chase Kirk Cousins.
For $37 million, Wilkerson provided eight sacks and sleepless nights for an organization that couldn’t get him to team meetings on time.
