Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll said the team didn't rush its decision to release defensive tackle Christian Wilkins

Wilkins will attempt to recoup the $35.2 million in guaranteed salary the Raiders voided. How does that process work?

Wilkins was mysteriously released by the Raiders on Thursday, which the team attributed to the way he was treating the rehab for a foot injury that kept him sidelined for most of last season. Las Vegas cut ties just one season into his five-year, $110 million pact.
