It's probably talent per dollar, maybe Gunter is cheaper? Or maybe they have concerns over Wilkerson recovery?

That's all speculation, of course, but if that's the case, I doubt Wilkerson will be on our roster next year. The longer they drag this out, the closer we'll get to training camp. A team that doesn't manage to fill its hole at DE/DT during the draft and/or suffers an injury in training camp would probably give him $ 5 million.
