Muhammad Wilkerson

By Glenn Naughton

 

To be filed in the “who didn’t see that coming” department, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News is reporting that New York Jets star defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson is not expected to take part in the team’s upcoming voluntary workout program.

Currently embroiled in a contract dispute that has many onlookers expecting an eventual trade, Wilkerson and the Jets appear headed for a divorce.

Still recovering from a leg fracture that he suffered in week 17, Wilkerson’s participation would be limited, but attending would  allow him to  check in with team trainers while taking part in the weight lifting portion of the workouts.

He is unsigned so would not risk injury while weightlifting. He wouldn't be covered under team insurance if he was hurt working out. Please Mac get this albatross out of here and get us a QB Bowles and Gailey can develop into a "franchise" guy. I don't mean to disrespect Mo, but really he has been trying to get out of the Jets because they don't want to pay him like a superstar.

This entire situation is NOT Mo Wilk's fault the Jets created it. Its a shame that when we get a great player on the roster we usually dont have a GM or the money to lock him down in a contract that is both player and team friendly.  Mo Wilk never in trouble,comes to play every game yet fans are turning on him for no apparent reason. The D will not be the same without him,mark my words.

We had 50 million both in Idzik's last year and Mac's first that might tell you the kind of contract Mo was demanding.. Once Williams was available with the 6th pick that pretty much sealed the deal on fast track Mo.. Except for last season the Jets haven't had a winning season with Mo it took a journeyman QB to get 10 wins..

Jets should have extended him last year when they had all that money available.

We could and should have given him some of the money we used to overpay other players.

Mo isn't a player we should have lost. A deal should have been reached.

Just the fact that Mac in some fans eye's overpaid for others shows he's not cheap just that Mo's demands were off the charts..

Williams didnt play nearly as well as Mo Wilk did granted he was a rookie, Mo has proven he belongs in the NFL and can get the job done,find a way to pay the man.

I think Jets fans will feel a lot better about not signing Mo when they see the size of his contact on his next team.

You think all the money the Jets wasted on Revis could have went a long way to extend Mo?

Absolutely but we know what Revis wanted Mo was most likely looking for a Suh type deal.. How is that working out for the Fins??

The rational fans will but the fast track Mo fans would be happy if Mo got 20 million a year and 25% of the team from Woody..:)

It shows he's not cheap, but not much beyond that. Obviously Wilk was asking for a lot. But he's worth a lot. 

I know we needed investment in the secondary more than the D-line at the time, where one unit was the worst in the league and the other elite - But f*ck he could have found a middle ground. Revis and Cromartie on those contracts were far too much.

Stop being a drama queen. Everyone likes mo including management but you simply cant pay that much money. This is the nature of the beast in a salary cap world. Getting leonard williams makes it a bit easier to move him

Drama queen for voicing my opinions on a Jets message board you obviously have some thespian tendencies hidden in you're closet.

In 2009-10 the D was a big reason we made the AFCCG from 2011 on with Mo on the team we had losing seasons until last year when Fitz broke team records.. Bottom line a decent QB is worth more then a very good DE that made his first Pro Bowl in year five..

Cornerback is an important position in the NFL. Run stuffing defensive end is not. 

CB, like RB, is a young man's position in the NFL.

Revis will be nothing more than a JAG CB this year and will be a liability in 2017.

At least his ridiculous contract gives the Jets an easy out after 2017.

TX you are bitter because Revis walked away from the Patriots how about this Brady will be nothing more than a JAG QB this year.

That is just awful logic and you know it. 

Plenty of recent Superbowl D's have been built on the defensive line - The Giants and Ravens come to mind. 

Who the hell even mentioned a QB? What decent QB are you even talking about?

I'm sure it's Fitz since he mentioned him in his post.

While TX is exaggerating, Revis is obviously declining. Guy was being put on toast by Pierre Garcon ffs. He's still a very good CB and pretty close to the elite group, but he's not close to being worth what we paid him. Mo on the other hand would be close to that.

Why would I be bitter about an overpayed, overhyped CB leaving the Pats?

Revis was atrocious down the stretch and especially in the playoffs.
