bucksavage1 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Adding a top tier DT to this defense is exactly what we needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbsk Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Finally!!! At long last someone listened to the forum 😁 Great signing as it will affect all 3 levels of the defence. If he plays aswell as we know he can he’ll be worth every penny. Another benefit us that it opens up the draft for us, we don’t need to target a DT now and maybe it gives us more options to move about for a QB knowing we don’t have to spend a high pick on a DT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justwinning Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Absolute homerun signing. Wilkins is going to wreck games on his own plus free up Crosby? That is worth every penny as far as I’m concerned 👏🏽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I can’t believe we did it. I’m in shock! I was sceptical, even posting about how unlikely a big signing like this was. But what do I know! Its got to be a good sign about where we are as an organisation. I’m sure the taxes played a part(!), but I’m certain that AP did too and the chance to play alongside Maxx. Absolutely delighted that we now have a legitimate dline. It gives us a focal point and identity to build from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about the draft. I’m a bit meh on the James signing, but it does reduce the need for multiple oline picks. And with the number of starters we have around the team, we really don’t have that many holes to fill imo… Just the most important one of course!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3T is a major area of need and Wilkins is one of the best in the game. I can’t complain with the move other than the contract was quite high. If it makes you feel any better just think he’s only getting paid what Jimmy Garoppolo was, I’m pretty sure he’s going to contribute a little more to the cause 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Very pleased. Really the only true FA I would've been ecstatic has we signed, and we got him. Finally got our 3T. This defensive line should be nasty lets go get Kermit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred 20M a year and used the other 5M to add depth and bolster the Oline but landing a player Wilkins at a major area of need is a win.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true2form Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Well this is a pleasant surprise. These are the kind of moves to make to keep your defense ascending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Quote DI CHRISTIAN WILKINS SIGNS WITH LAS VEGAS RAIDERS 2023 PFF Grade: 71.8 (29th/130) 2023 PFF WAR: 0.23 (12th) Fit/need grade: A+ Value grade: B Contract: Four years, $110 million ($27.5 million per year), $84.75 million total guaranteed PFF projected contract: Four years, $100 million ($25 million per year), $70 million total guaranteed Realistically, this should have been about the expected price once the Chris Jones deal got done and truly tethered an interior defender contract to the Aaron Donald outlier (an outlier no more). Wilkins bet on himself in 2023 despite seemingly his entire draft class around him cashing in, and boy, did that pay off. The duo of Maxx Crosby and Wilkins is going to take this ascending Raiders defense to even greater heights in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
