Report: Raiders player offended by 'playful' kiss from Wilkins

A player on the Las Vegas Raiders was offended after Christian Wilkins kissed him on the head in the locker room last week, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Raiders released Wilkins on Thursday, though that interaction wasn't the only reason, sources told Schefter.

The kiss was described as "playful" by one source, but the player didn't perceive it that way, Schefter reported. The organization's human resources department knows about the incident.

Las Vegas released Wilkins over his approach to rehabbing a Jones fracture in his foot, Schefter reported, voiding the remaining $35.2 million of guaranteed money left on his deal. The Raiders said in a statement that they released the 29-year-old defensive tackle because he had "no clear path or plan" to return to playing.

Wilkins reportedly filed a grievance over his release with the NFLPA.

A former member of the Miami Dolphins, Wilkins inked a four-year, $110-million contract with the Raiders last offseason. However, he only managed to play five games before his campaign was cut short due to injury.
