Raiders signing DT Christian Wilkins to fouryear 110 million deal
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing former Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to a four-year, $110 million deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.

Wilkins ranked No. 2 in NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal's list of the Top 101 NFL free agents of 2024. The Raiders' two starting defensive tackles from last season, Bilal Nichols and John Jenkins, plus top backup Adam Butler are all pending free agents.

Las Vegas, which ranked ninth in points allowed last season, now will feature two dominant forces on their defensive line for new full-time head coach Antonio Pierce with Wilkins and pass rusher Maxx Crosby, who had a career-best 14.5 sacks last season and led the NFL in tackles for loss with 23.

They're also two of the better ironmen in the NFL. Wilkins has started 51 straight games, and Crosby has not missed a game in his five-years career.

The Dolphins now have a major void to fill on their defensive front. In addition to being one of Miami's best players in recent seasons, Wilkins also has been one of the best locker-room leaders in that span.
