This time last year Christian Wilkins was the biggest free agent signing in the NFL. The Raiders signed him with the hopes he would upgrade their defensive line. Five games into the season, he suffered a jones fracture in his foot that ended his season. Now his time with the team is done. He has been released.

Wilkins was mysteriously released by the Raiders on Thursday, which the team attributed to the way he was treating the rehab for a foot injury that kept him sidelined for most of last season. Las Vegas cut ties just one season into his five-year, $110 million pact.

Wilkins was injured in Week 5 last season and had some sort of setback in his recovery that took him out of offseason practices and landed him on the physically unable to perform list shortly before training camp opened Wednesday.
