Ex-Raiders Superstar DL Has Agreed to Personal Terms With the Dallas Cowboys

Dallas, TX – September 9, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are on the verge of finalizing one of the biggest defensive additions of the year. Per league sources, the team has agreed to personal terms with veteran defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, with the deal pending standard medical evaluations.

The timing couldn’t be more critical for Dallas. After acquiring Kenny Clark earlier this offseason to strengthen the middle of their defensive front, the Cowboys still lacked proven depth at the 1-technique. Wilkins, a former Raiders standout and one of the NFL’s most disruptive interior defenders, looks set to fill that void.

At 30 years old, Wilkins brings both proven production and some risk, having been released earlier this summer. Still, his résumé speaks volumes. In 2024 with Miami, he added to a career tally that now includes 40.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss, earning a 72.5 grade from Pro Football Focus. His ability to stop the run while generating interior pass rush makes him a rare two-way presence.

In Dallas, Wilkins is expected to line up alongside Clark, forming a duo that could finally stabilize the Cowboys’ run defense while adding serious pocket pressure. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus would also have the option to deploy heavier fronts in short-yardage and goal-line packages, giving his unit far more versatility.

On paper, the defensive line looks imposing. With Wilkins and Clark anchoring the interior and DeMarcus Lawrence and Sam Williams rushing from the edges, Dallas could field one of the league’s most balanced defensive fronts. That strength up front would, in turn, free linebackers Patrick Queen and Leighton Vander Esch to play more aggressively in space.

The reaction from fans has been immediate. Cowboys Nation has lit up social media, calling Wilkins the “missing piece” to a championship run and noting that his arrival should allow younger players to settle into rotational roles rather than being forced into heavy workloads.

Financially, Dallas is prepared to make a serious commitment. Reports indicate the framework is for a four-year deal worth around $110 million, comparable to Wilkins’ last contract. Thanks to recent cap restructures, the Cowboys have the space to make it happen — provided the medical checks go through without issue.

For Dallas, the signing represents more than just depth. It’s a bold move aimed squarely at transforming the defensive line into a championship-caliber unit — and Cowboys Nation is already dreaming of February football.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
