Raiders Release DT Christian Wilkens

[StickierBuns]

So word is trickling out that there was some kind of incident at the facilities? Something weird? I mean, lol, it must have been to just release the guy and eat a shit ton of dead cap money.

Edit: So the rumor is: he tried to KISS another player at the facilities. Yikes.

Not the team bonding Brady was looking for.

Edit, it was supposedly a kiss on top of the head of another player. That reads just a bit different than trying to kiss another player. Still rather objectionable, but way different.

I just pictured this:

"Hey man nice job in the 7 on 7 today"

So, is a peck on the top of head kinda like a longer than usual pat on the butt?

I may have jumped the gun with my opinion of him.

Word is the BFlo was asked about him and he said absolutely yes, he'd welcome him in Purple.
He knows him, he knows what's under the hood.
But he deferred to Kwesi and said that those guys handle that and washed his hands.
They're fully aware of his availability (and health, no doubt).
It's almost like it would be better if it was an incident rather than about his foot.

If I jumped the gun with my opinion...I stand corrected.

weirder than a billionaire owner getting his hair cut at the Helen Keller school of blind barbery?

What I heard reported was he kissed a guy on the top of the head in a meeting while joking around and the player took offense and reported him to HR. Perhaps that was the last straw, but the reality is he was cut because of the dispute over how to deal with his injury, which didn't work out for him. Kind of like the Daunte issue the Vikings had.
As they say the best ability is availability, and a player who isn't available to play can't get away with an HR problem like one who is. Especially if cutting him can save a large amount of money voided from his contract.
I think he could be just fine if his injury is healed and, he learned a lesson on how to treat teammates with respect!

I think they found out he's kind of weird, changed a bit when he got the bag and he refused to get an additional needed surgery on that foot so the team cut bait. Still severe and surprising but the team made a choice.

edit: worse than that, lol. Teammate at a presser just now said 'he needs help'.
