Wilkins just wrapped up his fifth season and has registered 20.5 sacks, 204 solo tackles, and four forced fumbles in his career. In 2023, Wilkins appeared in all 17 games and recorded 65 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and a career-high nine sacks.
He was unlikely to return to the Dolphins as the team currently has negative cap space for 2024. His departure leaves a huge hole for the playoff team from last year.
NFL Free Agency officially opens up Wednesday at 4 p.m., although teams are currently able to negotiate with players during the legal tampering window.
