Pretty clear as of yesterday he wasn't going to play for them this season because the 2nd surgery will put him out 3-4 months so they cut bait now and are trying to void his deal because of how he handled his recovery.

Before OTAs began, the Raiders informed Wilkins that he needed a second surgery on his foot, according to a league source. Wilkins disagreed and didn’t get the procedure, a league source said. That sparked a back-and-forth over the last few months that led to the Raiders ultimately deciding to move on from Wilkins.
