Raiders player offers telling comment on Christian Wilkins’ release

One Las Vegas Raiders player offered a fairly telling quote about the team’s decision to release star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

Raiders defensive tackle Adam Butler was asked Tuesday about the circumstances that led to Wilkins’ release. Butler was reluctant to offer specifics and said the team was trying to move on from the situation, but offered a rather pointed comment.

“I will say, whatever you’re going through as a person, athlete, non-athlete, whatever your struggle is, if you’ve got something going on in life, just talk to somebody,” Butler said. “Get some therapy. Whatever your deal is is your deal. Somebody out there in this world full of billions of people is willing to listen. They’re willing to listen, hear you out, and help you work through whatever you need to work through. Don’t make any hasty decisions. Get help.”
