The Raiders voided the remaining $35.2 million guaranteed on Wilkins's contract, abruptly releasing him one year into his four-year deal that he signed with the team last offseason.

Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll refused to comment on the reported human resources complaint that led to the team releasing $110 million defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel stated last week that the team would have a conversation about signing Wilkins.
