I'm more wondering if there was an altercation with bachman for posting it and if that was the "weird" thing that happenedAtlasffa wrote: Sat Jul 26, 2025 4:45 pm ICYMI. Here's the dancing video. Not sure this would be enough to say he's not serious about rehab. Just because he was able to do a little dance, it does not follow that he can put on cleats and mow over NFL players. Seems like this would be more about attitude than ability.

I bet someone fell down in the shower and Wilkins wouldn’t let him up.

It may also depend on what he told the team about the pain and range of motion in his foot. It would be nice if we knew what actually happened though because they are pretty tipped lipped about this entire situation.Atlasffa wrote: Sat Jul 26, 2025 4:45 pm ICYMI. Here's the dancing video.

Maybe. It feels like he must have done or said something to make management think something along the lines of "screw it, he's playiing us."vtraider wrote: Sat Jul 26, 2025 4:50 pm I'm more wondering if there was an altercation with bachman for posting it and if that was the "weird" thing that happened

The Raiders are using Article 30, subsection 3A of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement to justify the designation.
“An otherwise qualified player will not be entitled to Termination Pay under this Article if the Club can demonstrate that, after receipt of a written warning from his Club in the form attached hereto as Appendix I, the player failed to exhibit the level of good faith effort which can be reasonably expected from NFL players on that Club,” the section states.
The NFL Players Association has two kinds of grievances, injury and non-injury, and Wilkins is a non-injury grievance despite his fractured foot rehab being the focal point because it’s about recouped salary. If the Raiders are successful in voiding Wilkins’s remaining guaranteed money, the team will just have to pay his prorated signing bonus through 2028.

Should come as no surprise that the Pats are interested in CDub. Most likely, they want intel because McMuffin would be thrown into the harbor with a loss...

They could be the Opal Wyoming Raiders and theyd still find the drama.
