The 2011 first-round pick made the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2015 after registering 64 tackles and a career-high 12 sacks.
He also posted double-digit sacks in 2013 with 10.5, and he has 44.5 sacks in 105 career games despite largely playing in a 3-4 defensive front.
In addition to that, the Temple alum has missed just seven games in seven NFLseasons, although he did break his leg in the Jets' final regular-season game in 2015.
Wilkerson has proved to be a disruptive force against both the pass and the run when healthy and motivated, which could make him a steal of a signing.
Although there are some concerns regarding Wilkerson's willingness to give 100 percent game in and game out, the Packers could have a bargain on their hands if he lives up to his potential.
Offense has been Green Bay's biggest key to success in recent years, but the signing of Wilkerson could go a long way toward improving its defense.
With Wilkerson now in the fold, the Packers have a formidable defensive line that also includes Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark.
Constant injuries have slowed linebacker Clay Matthews, but Wilkerson has a strong resume in terms of rushing the passer, and he could help the Packers go from the middle of the pack in sacks to among the leaders in 2018.
