Earlier this offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders made former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Christian Wilkins the highest-paid non-quarterback to change teams in free agency, signing him to a four-year, $110 million deal that contains $82.75 million in total guarantees, $55.5 million of which is fully guaranteed at signing.
