Wilkins is slated to sign a four-year, $110 million contract with the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Dolphins are not expected to franchise tag Wilkins by Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilkins will immediately become one of the top free agents on the market if Miami indeed opts not to place the franchise tag on him. That won't necessarily mean Wilkins' future with the Dolphins is over, but given that the 28-year-old DT is coming of a career-best season in which he produced 65 total tackles (10 for a loss), 9.0 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries, a team around the league could reasonably offer a contract that Miami can't match. Wilkins is one of the few interior defenders in the NFL to boast a truly complete combination of run-stuffing and pass-rushing aptitude.

Wilkins notched 65 tackles (38 solo), including a career-high nine sacks, two pass breakups, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 forwards, as the team will be without its most productive pass rusher in Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) for the remainder of the season.

Wilkins (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Titans, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Wilkins (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Wilkins finished with two sacks in the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive tackle recorded three tackles in total and played on 60 percent of Miami's defensive snaps. Wilkins has 43 tackles, including 6.5 sacks, two passes defensed and a fumble recovery this season.

Wilkins had five tackles (four solo) including a sack in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Wilkins got to Mac Jones on a crucial third down at the beginning of the third quarter that forced the Patriots to take the field goal and keep the Dolphins up by seven points. Wilkins is now up to 4.5 sacks on the season and is second behind Bradley Chubb (5) in that category. Wilkins will look to add to his total in Week 9 against the Chiefs in Germany.

Wilkins logged five tackles (two solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 42-21 win over Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Wilkins now has 3.5 sacks through six appearances this season, putting him in a good position to surpass his career-high mark (4.5) from back in 2021. The 2019 first-round pick will look to keep up his momentum during Sunday Night Football at Philadelphia in Week 7.
