JetNation Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 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. Unsigned & franchised (& hoping to be traded/paid) Mo Wilkerson not expected to be at Jets voluntary workouts either https://t.co/aAuxon7HOa — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) April 16, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neckdemon Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 really need to trade this guy. spending too much on a Dline is not really a recipe for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 The Jets have been trying to extend MO since Rex/Idzik here. He wants too much and doesn't want to budge. He's very good, but no game changer. No reason tying up the teams money on him for a long-term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Irish Jet Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 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.
