The New York Jets have said they want to retain Muhammad Wilkerson, but the defensive lineman doesn't seem convinced.

"It's shocking. It's frustrating," Wilkerson said. "Because I feel like I've earned it and I deserve it. It would be different if I was just a mediocre player. I feel like each and every week I'm dominating and it's showing. The stats speak for themselves. Basically, what more do I need to do? You know what I mean? ...

"Do I feel that they want me back? As of right now, no. I don't feel like they want me. I'm a talented guy. Everybody knows that. I feel like they're going to get the best they can out of me and just let me go. That's how I feel. Do I like that feeling? No. I'm a New Jersey guy, born and raised and would love to raise my family here."

Wilkerson has been in touch with trainers to monitor the progress of his broken leg, but hasn't made any progress with the front office. He hasn't signed his franchise tag offer, which would pay him $15.7 million this year.
