Christian Wilkins is speculated to earn $22-24M annually, potentially surpassing Zach Sieler's $10M salary. The Dolphins may need to pay more than the franchise tag for Wilkins following Chris Jones' $32M deal. Wilkins' addition to the Raiders' defense alongside Maxx Crosby is expected to strengthen their defensive line. Wilkins has impressive stats, with 297 tackles, 18.5 sacks, 46 QB hits, and 40 TFL in the last four seasons, comparable to Sieler's 243 tackles, 19.0 sacks, 48 QB hits, and 48 TFL.
Last four seasons Christian Wilkins: 297 tackles, 18.5 sacks, 46 QBH, 40 TFL Zach Sieler: 243 tackles, 19.0 sacks, 48 QBH, 48 TFL #MiamiDolphins
PFF has pressure data back to 2009. Wilkins' 58 pressures last regular season are more than any #Raiders interior defensive lineman has had in a season in that span. The highs: Quinton Jefferson 46 in 2021 Tommy Kelly 43 in 2010 Antonio Smith 43 in 2014 https://t.co/bhj6g0Yb6n
While Christian Wilkins will be teaming up with Maxx Crosby as a tag team of sack specialists, due to injury and potential players leaving the only player with more than 1 sack from the 2023 Dolphins penciled in for Week 1 2024 is Zach Sieler https://t.co/UJKJEh3tNg

Maxx Crosby X Christian Wilkins 😮💨😮💨 https://t.co/HeFOYsmZWa
Last season, Christian Wilkins' 61 quarterback pressures led to three interceptions. It ain't all about sacks. Wilkins is also a machete through double teams. Putting him next to Maxx Crosby on the Raiders' line is borderline illegal. https://t.co/OHpv7X3zcw

The Dolphins are very fortunate to have Zach Sieler at $10.25 million a season. Christian Wilkins will make $27.5 million a season and Sieler possesses many of the same attributes.
#Raiders have a scary front with Christian Wilkins next to Maxx Crosby. Tyree Wilson getting on track could make this one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.

How will Chris Jones’s monster deal impact Christian Wilkins? @DrewJRosenhaus Says the Dolphins will likely have to pay more than what the franchise tag would have cost, but do not rule Miami out to keep their stud DT. How much do you agree? #Finsup #NFLFreeAgency #nfl https://t.co/JMfTTFUV82
The top DT salaries with Christian Wilkins set to crash the party. https://t.co/ALTji2fwdW
If this Chris Jones deal plus the one the Ravens just negotiated with DT Justin Madubuike doesn’t move the Dolphins toward Christian Wilkins before noon Monday, then nothing will… https://t.co/OkBR5nGNKg
$32M a year for Chris Jones I’ve said $22.5M for Christian Wilkins. Zach Sieler makes $10M. I’ve joke Chris Grier has wanted a 2 for the price of 1 situation. Well then.
$32M a year for Chris Jones I’ve said $22.5M for Christian Wilkins. Zach Sieler makes $10M. I’ve joke Chris Grier has wanted a 2 for the pride of 1 situation. Well then.

Think about this…. Some people are speculating that Christian Wilkins will pull in a salary that pays him $22-24M. Is he really 3 times better a player than Zach Sieler, who averages $8M a season?
