This could be interesting. I have only heard the guy is kind of trouble.

The Jets announced the release of defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson last week and it looks like we know what his first stop will be as he tries to find a new team for the 2018 season.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Wilkerson is expected to make a visit to Green Bay to kick off his job search.

Cheap deal with low signing bonus and some motivational stats based funds then I'd be alright! I don't want another quitter this year!

I do find it curious that we are his first stop. There must be some mutual interest. Guy may have some issues, I do like the guys we have on the DL so hopefully that can motivate him in the right direction. If the price is right this could be a pretty decent signing of us.

Since he is getting cut we can sign him right away, right? And he won't affect the compensatory picks? Hear lots of concerns of laziness and missing meetings, but did any of that happen while he was playing for pettine? Or while the jets were mildly competitive? I like the idea if he is cheap and the above answers are no.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Correct Gbguy...if cut he does not count against comp pics. He played hard before his 85 million dollar contract, now all the issues. Packers better get him for damn cheap if at all...we don't need Marty Bennett 2.0

The Jets released Wilkerson for a good reason and they must feel that they can do better. GB does not need to import problems. A visit maybe, but let's not take on another teams problem child.

Sometimes an old dog just says he can change, but then he's your teams new disruption. I don't think Wilkerson is a good fit for the Packers. [thumbdn]

If they sign him to a one year deal, he'll hopefully be plenty motivated to rebuild his stock.

I don't know if Wilkerson is going to be the answer or not. When I look at his stats I see a player who has declined in production the last 2 years. Maybe it's caching philosophy. Maybe he was frustrated with the team. I don't know.

What I do know is GB needs help on the DL. A quick look at DL production-

            Age	 G	GS	PD	FF	Sk	Tkl	Ast	AV
Mike Daniels 28	14	14	0   1	5.0	34	15	9
Kenny Clark  22	15	15	1	2	4.5	32	23	7
Dean Lowry   23	16	11	2	0	2.0	18	14	6

Wilkerson    28  13	12	4    0	3.5	26	20	6 1 Int

Maybe Montravius Adams will step up. Maybe not. Even if he does we still need another DL who can fill the gap.

Maybe he will be the answer for a year or two. Maybe he will be another Marty Bennett. No one can say for sure.

He was going to count $20M on the Jets cap. Perhaps the Jets could have restructured, but this is also a cap dump as well. I am thinking if the price is right and with Pettine's blessing this can be a great signing.
