The once-promising partnership between the Las Vegas Raiders and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins came to an unhappy and abrupt ending Thursday, with the team releasing Wilkins due to reported contentiousness over his rehab from last year's season-ending foot injury.

The Raiders are releasing Christian Wilkins with the designation of terminated vested veteran. The DT, who has been recovering from a Jones fracture, filed a grievance with the NFLPA after the $35.2M of guaranteed money left on his contract was voided.

The Raiders are moving on from defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Raiders will be releasing Wilkins. The move comes only one year after he signed a four-year, $110 million deal.
