Ministry of Pain

He already had surgery and wanted to avoid a 2nd surgery, I wouldn't want to voice a lot of anger at Wilkins, other veteran players have a limit on the number of surgeries they can go thruPer ESPN’s Adam Schefter, “the Raiders voided the remaining $35.2 million of guaranteed money left on Wilkins’ contract last month.” The Raiders’ decision is reportedly “due to how Wilkins treated the rehab from his foot injury he suffered last season.” He signed a four-year, $110 million contract with the team last offseason, but appeared in just five games before suffering the season-ending injury. He totaled 14 tackles, nine quarterback pressures and two sacks while active. Wilkins reportedly filed a grievance with the NFLPA today. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport adds that the team asked Wilkins to undergo surgery to correct the injury but Wilkins declined.Wonder if the Raiders tried to get Wilkins to use cryotherapy? Maybe same clinic AB went to?
Terron Armstead for the Dolphins had a limit while he was playing, they opted to sit him most of the time at practice to counter his pain management
BTW: Wilkins made $49.5M for the 5 games he played in a Raiders uniform.
You and I have no idea what the current health is of Wilkins, I know PUP for the moment but we have no idea what the 2nd surgery vs what Wilkins thought was a better path for him
He might still collect his $34M owed to him, Wilkins did quite well signing with the Raiders
I feel no sympathy for the team or Wilkins, it's not personal, it's business
