[Jeremy Fowler] Development out of Indy: Several league sources expect #Dolphins’ Christian Wilkins to avoid franchise tag. Miami source says keeping options open, but teams bracing for star DT to hit free agency. That and much, much more from @DanGrazianoESPN and me

1. I’d love this pick up

2. I wonder if the Bears would legitimately pursue this so Flus can finally get his premier 3T. Flip side being that’s a lot of money dedicated to the defensive side of the ball with a rookie QB, and no guarantee the top 3 WR are there at 9.

3. Would be a huge upgrade. One of if not the most important piece of the D.

4. Get m

5. Can and should be Poles biggest acquisition this off-season.

   The supposed engine of Flus’ defense, and would eliminate a need going into the draft.

   Not to mention how it will only help the defense and Gervon having someone like Wilkins in this lineup.

6. I’d prefer a DE since I feel like DT is solid, esp if you bring back jones. But any legit upgrade on the dline would be appreciated. Right now I think they have billing, dexter, pickens(meh), and walker. If jones comes back thats 5 deep.

7. Figured Dolphins would work something out with him. Still think Poles has to spend on the DLine with him or Hunter

8. I’m gonna pretend I know what this means and be like whoa yes this is our dude! Despite having no clue what this means

   Edit: why would the dolphins just let him go tho is my question
