Right. I get that Wilkerson is on the last year of his contract and is unhappy, but he'll be in camp and on the field week one, and they have the money to pay him next year if they wanted to. He's the best 3-4 DE in the business, after all. Arguably (and I would argue yes) the best player in the draft fell into their lap, and they took him. Okay. But that team is so devoid of talent literally everywhere but defensive line and (now) cornerback that I can't, as objective as I can be with the Jets, christen this a good pick - even while I absolutely think Williams is the best player in the draft.
I think Wilkerson is gone. After they paid top dollar to Revis. I don't think they can pay Wilkerson. He is going to want and probably get the second most money for a DT after Suh. And then the Jets have to pay Sheldon Richardson too. The quest for Revis probably took Wilkerson out of the Jets' future plans.
