Cedric Wilkins II, just as he appeared to be laying the rumors of his dissatisfaction with the Philadelphia Liberty to rest, has returned to the headlines, this time having come to blow with teammates at practice. It is reported that Wilkins, frustrated with his performance of late, let his emotions get the best of him, and was seen throwing a punch at an unexpecting teammate, quarterback Ryan Negs. Negs appears to have escaped the altercation with no more than a bruised ego, but clearly the signal caller has had enough with Wilkins’ antics.
Negs, speaking to reporters following practice, said of the scuffle, “This new kid, Wilkins, obviously thinks he can just show up and act however he wants here, when really, ha hasn’t earned shit. He’s barely managing to cover our practice squad wide receivers, and yet he thinks he’s all that. Honestly, who knows how much longer I’ll be willing to deal with it”. Negs then left the field, gabbing with former nickelback and current offensive captain Matt Cross, another player who has been critical of Wilkins’ behavior.
Wilkins, caught at the airport following an early exit from practice, did not take kindly to Negs’ criticisms, “This shit was what got my blood boiling to begin with, man. Everybody knows I give everything to this game, and they still bust my balls about shit that ain’t even true. I ain’t got a coverage problem, I just got a unique role to play, and I’m doing what the fuck I’m told. If Negs don’t like that, fuck him, he ain’t run the defense”.
Wilkins proceeded to dismiss the gathered crowd of journalists, citing concern that he would be late for his flight, “I got to get the fuck away from this bullshit”. He was later seen waiting to board a flight, not to John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana as expected, but instead to Norman Y. Mineta International Airport in San Jose. Reporters were not able to catch him in time to ask about his flight, but we speculate he has opted to pay a visit to the Sabercats before this week’s game against Orange County.
The Philadelphia Liberty organization refused to provide comment on this matter; it is assumed that they have opted to remain silent rather than taking a side to avoid deepening the divide between two players they see as key to their success. However, clearly they have a problem to address, and it is worth wondering whether managements might be asking themselves the same thing as their quarterback: how much longer are they willing to deal with the distraction, Cedric Wilkins II?
