$24M signing bonus
$82.75M guaranteed

Made Wilkins the third-highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL.
Played just five games before suffering a season-ending foot injury.
Raiders released him on July 24, 2025, citing no clear path to recovery.
The team voided $35.2M of remaining guaranteed money, sparking a grievance filed by Wilkins with the NFL Players Association.

Workout Bonus | $92,000 |
