ANY MO

Why won’t you talk about your play this year?

Wilkerson: “I’m answering Denver questions. That’s our next opponent.”

In the past you’ve taken general questions about your play…

Wilkerson: “I’m ask, ask… answering Denver questions. If you don’t have no questions about Denver, there’s nothing else to talk about.” Don’t you think you owe it to the fans? Wilkerson: “If you have anything to ask about Denver? If not, then there’s nothing else to talk about.”

So you don’t think you owe it to the fans, Mo? Wilkerson: Any other questions? Do you consider yourself a leader on this team?

Wilkerson: Any other questions about Denver?

How much do you want to be a part of this franchise next year?

Wilkerson: “So you missed it. Any questions about Denver?”

Summary: Wilkerson couldn’t care less about showing accountability to anyone, including Woody and Christopher Johnson’s paying customers. Real talk: Jets fans are a necessary evil for him.

Wilkerson, who was disciplined (benched) for tardiness issues in 2015, promised Todd Bowles that he’d stay on the straight and narrow path before signing a five-year, $86 million deal in 2016. Promise broken.

He’s become an All-Pro excuse-maker. The guy threw his own training staff under the bus last year, for Pete’s sake.

The Jets erred by not making Wilkerson play on the franchise tag ($15.7 million) last season. They gave him a multi-year commitment with $36.75 million in guarantees. So, the team essentially wasted $21 million on a player who has a grand total of seven sacks in the last 30 games.

There is an escape hatch that must be exercised: The Jets can cut Wilkerson before the third day of the new league year in March before his 2018 salary ($16.75 million) becomes guaranteed. The team would free up $11 million and incur a $9 million dead money charge. If the Jets designate Wilkerson as a post-June 1 cut, they would ultimately free up $17 million (with a $3 million dead money hit).

Even if Wilkerson magically comes to life on the field over the final four games — believe it or not, he’s on pace for fewer sacks this year than last year — there is exactly a zero percent chance that he will be on the Jets next year under the current terms of his contract, according to sources.

Some folks on One Jets Drive don’t care about the money at all: They’re just fed up with Wilkerson’s awful on-field production over the past two seasons.

The team could restructure Wilkerson’s contract (aka — significant pay cut) before trading him. Remember: This regime was amenable to trading him for draft picks and/or moving up in the draft in the past.

The mercurial defensive lineman hasn’t changed much since 2011, when the regime that drafted him in the first round explained the player to me this way: You could put together a 15-play reel from his days at Temple that would make you think he would be a perennial Pro Bowler. You could also put together a 15-play reel that would make you think he was destined for the practice squad.

Very little has changed. Wilkerson still shows up when he feels like it.

He ostensibly tried to take charge this year, but lapsed and set a terrible example for impressionable younger players.

True leaders don’t repeatedly break team rules. True leaders comport themselves like professionals during prosperous and challenging times.

These Jets have true leaders. Wilkerson isn’t one of them.
