Christian Wilkins isn’t getting an extension ahead of the 2023 season, but that’s not dissuading him from doing whatever he can to be the best for his squad in the year ahead.<\/p>\n

Three days removed from NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reporting that Wilkins and the Miami Dolphins were unable to come to terms on a contract extension, the defensive lineman made it clear just what his focus is now.<\/p>\n

“I’m just focused on being the best teammate I can be and being there for my guys and getting ready to play a game and get focused on the season,” he said, via team transcript. “As far as all of that goes, whether or not something gets done, my focus is on the season. We have a game to play in two weeks. Ultimately, I’m just here to be the best teammate I can be, and be there for my guys the same way I’ve been all offseason, all training camp. That’s really what it comes down to.”<\/p>\n
