6 NFL teams that could steal Christian Wilkins away from the Dolphins with a big offer

If Christian Wilkins wants to chase a Super Bowl or at the very least have a shot at one, there are not many teams with the cap space and need.

The Detroit Lions

I can't imagine Wilkins playing under Dan Campbell in Detroit. They seem like a natural fit and that would be an incredible mix of bravado. I can see Campbell chest-bumping Wilkins as he comes off the field. They have similar personalities and I think the Lions are the one team that could actually get more out of Wilkins.

The Lions came one game from a Super Bowl appearance. They need defensive tackle help and they also have the 7th highest amount of cap space in the NFL. The Lions also don't have a lot of major holes to fill on the roster.

Despite having 27 impending free agents, only one player, Guard Jonah Jackson was a starter in 2023. On defense, only one player of the 27 was listed as a starter, DT Benito Jones. The Lions will be able to make some moves and many of their impending FAs will come back on short deals.

Wilkins is a player that would make a lot of sense for both parties should he leave the Dolphins. The Lions have a projected $45 million in cap space.
