"ESPN sources: Raiders are releasing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins with the designation of terminated vested veteran. His time in Las Vegas is now over," Schefter wrote on X. Cutting Wilkins in the middle of training camp is a shocking move, but the Raiders had a reason.

Christian Wilkins' time with the Las Vegas Raiders is over, but he and the team could be facing a contract battle in the immediate future.

Just over a year after making Christian Wilkins one of the highest-paid defensive linemen in the NFL, the Las Vegas Raiders are moving on. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders have released Wilkins with the designation of a terminated vested veteran—voiding the remainder of his guaranteed money in the process.
