Jets’ Wilkerson uncertain whether he’ll attend minicamp

LINDEN, N.J. (AP) – New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson, looking for a new contract, is uncertain whether he’ll attend the team’s mandatory minicamp next week.

Wilkerson says he and agent Chad Wiestling will discuss the situation over the weekend, but had not decided anything as of Friday night. Wilkerson spoke to the media for the first time since the end of last season at his charity bowling event.

Wilkerson is entering the final year of his rookie deal after the team exercised its fifth-year option. He is due to make $6.9 million this season, but is seeking a long-term deal with the team that drafted him in the first round out of Temple in 2011.

Wilkerson has not been with the team for voluntary workouts, instead training on his own.
