According to Cameron Wolfe, the Dolphins have exercised DT Christian Wilkins‘ fifth-year option.
This doesn’t come as a big surprise after Wilkins turned in a career season in 2021.
The option is projected to be worth $10.753 million fully guaranteed for the 2023 season.
Wilkins, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2019 out of Clemson. He signed a four-year, 15,439,100 contract with Miami that included a $9,248,436 signing bonus.
In 2021, Wilkins appeared in all 17 games for the Dolphins and recorded 89 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble, a fumble recovery and four passes defended.
