Part of the reason why I'm excited to see Raekwon Davis make a jump is because of Wilkins playing beside him. Wilkins' next contract is going to be interesting because the coaching staff knows full well how much he's contributed but there are no objective stats that reflect his strong play. I think we'll be able to resign him but his market will be slightly lower than it should because he doesn't post eye-popping sack numbers.
While I am sure they want him to make the next step in his development, I know his teammates see him as a leader by the way he does the dirty work and doesn't complain about getting the stats. He is the team mate you want.
