  • Raiders' Christian Wilkins: To call Las Vegas home

    Wilkins is slated to sign a four-year, $110 million contract with the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Wilkins will immediately form one of the league's most dangerous pass-rush tandems alongside Maxx Crosby in Las Vegas, giving the Raiders one of the most intimidating defensive fronts in the league. The Dolphins opted not to franchise tag Wilkins after he broke out with 65 total tackles (10 for loss), 9.0 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 2023, and the contract now offered to him by Las Vegas is clearly one Miami couldn't have matched. The 28-year-old is one of the few interior defenders in the NFL to truly boast an ability to thrive as both a run stuffer and pass rusher, making him a premier fantasy asset in IDP formats that require starting DTs.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Franchise tag deadline passes

    The Dolphins did not place the franchise tag on Wilkins ahead of Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. EST deadline, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The defensive tackle will hit free agency for the first time in his NFL career, after putting together his best season to date in 2023. While playing 17 games for a third straight campaign, Wilkins racked up 65 total tackles including 9.0 sacks, plus one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries, as he thrived both rushing quarterbacks and stuffing running backs. The fact that Wilkins didn't receive the franchise tag doesn't preclude Miami from re-signing him, but it seems almost guaranteed he'll be offered a contract on the open market sizable enough that the cap-strapped Dolphins can't match it.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Stellar in final year of contract

    Wilkins notched 65 tackles (38 solo), including a career-high 9.0 sacks, two pass breakups, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023. Wilkins had a quiet finish to the season with just three assisted tackles during Saturday's wild-card playoff loss to the Chiefs, but that doesn't undermine the fact that he put together a career year to cap his rookie contract. The Dolphins will be in a precarious position this offseason, with Tua Tagovailoa entering the fifth year of his rookie deal, potentially making Wilkins a franchise tag candidate. It's difficult to imagine Miami letting Wilkins walk, but his franchise tag would carry a $19.7 million salary, and the team has little room to maneuver barring future restructures.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Logs another sack in loss

    Wilkins logged five total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss and one sack in Monday night's 28-27 loss to the Titans. The 27-year-old was the only Dolphin to get to Will Levis on Monday night, even though the Titans' offensive line had given up the fifth most sacks in the NFL going into Week 13 (42 sacks allowed). Wilkins continues to add to his impressive season, tallying 51 total tackles, including nine tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks through 13 games. The entire Miami defensive line (including Wilkins) will need to do a better job of getting after the quarterback going forward, as the team will be without its most productive pass rusher in Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) for the remainder of the season.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Ready for Monday night

    Wilkins (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Titans, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. The 27-year-old was added to Miami's injury report Friday, but after a full practice session Saturday, it seems as if he's been able to move past his groin issue. Wilkins has been an integral part of the Dolphins' defense since entering the league in 2019, and he's logged 46 total tackles, including eight tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks through 12 games this season.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Addition to injury report

    Wilkins (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Wilkins popped up on Miami's injury report Friday, and his groin issue held him to limited participation in today's practice. The Dolphins don't play until Monday night, so Wilkins' practice participation Saturday will be something to look out for to help determine how severe this groin injury is.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Back at practice

    Wilkins (contract dispute) isn't listed on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports. Wilkins held out of training camp while looking for an extension on his rookie deal, which will pay him $10.75 million this season. He ended his holdout last week and made it clear that he didn't consider a trade request and wants to stay in Miami. The 2019 first-round pick out of Clemson recorded a career-high 98 tackles last season to go along with 3.5 sacks, six pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 17 games.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Fifth-year option picked up

    The Dolphins exercised Wilkins' fifth-year option Thursday. Wilkins is now signed through the 2023 campaign, giving both he and the Dolphins more time to negotiate on a long-term extension. The 2019 first-round pick posted a career season in 2021, with 89 total tackles and 4.5 sacks through 17 games.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Posts career numbers in 2021

    Wilkins notched 89 tackles (49 solo), 4.5 sacks, four pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 appearances in 2021. Wilkins recorded career-high statistics across the board in his third NFL season, taking a notable step forward in establishing himself as a defensive pillar for Miami. The 2019 first-round pick is set to play out the final year of his rookie contract come 2022, though the Dolphins could mull the possibility of picking up his fifth-year option.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Records sack

    Wilkins recorded five tackles (two solo) and a sack in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Wilkins' sack was his third on the season, and he now has 52 tackles for his 2021 campaign. The third-year pro is easily on pace to smash his career-best 56-tackle season. His three sacks are also already a career high. Drafted in the first round out of Clemson in 2019, Wilkins will look to continue his ascent Sunday against the Giants.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Comes off COVID-19 list

    The Dolphins activated Wilkins (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. Wilkins missed the last two games while on the COVID-19 list, but the 2019 first-round pick is now on track to return for Sunday's tilt against the Jets. Wilkins has only 28 tackles and one sack through eight games this season, so his fantasy upside in IDP leagues is limited, but his return should make it easier for Miami to contain New York's offense.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Sacks Newton in loss

    Wilkins recorded six tackles (five solo), one sack, two defended passes and one quarterback hit during Sunday's 21-11 loss to New England. Wilkins was limited to just two sacks as a rookie in 2019, so it's encouraging to see him already getting off to a hot start Year 2. The second-year pro also matched his career-high tackle total during the Week 1 loss, so he'll be worth monitoring in IDP formats heading into a Week 2 tilt against the Bills.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Caps 2019 with three stops

    Wilkins recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Patriots. Wilkins drew his usual start at defensive end Week 17 despite nursing an ankle injury. The 2019 first-round pick played all 16 games of his rookie season, notching 56 tackles (30 solo), two sacks and two defended passes. He also caught a touchdown on a trick play Week 16 against the Bengals. The 24-year-old will be an integral part of Miami's plans on defense for the 2020 season.

  • Dolphins' Christian Wilkins: Limited by ankle injury

    Wilkins has an ankle injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports. Wilkins was limited at practice all week by the ankle issue, giving him a solid chance of suiting up this weekend. The 24-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, and he'll look to continue that trend for the season finale.
