The Miami Dolphins did not bring back veteran defender Christian Wilkins during free agency. Now, he will play for the Las Vegas Raiders. With those decisions, Miami has been forced to address their defensive line. 

Their latest addition placed a bit of pressure on himself on Monday with his decision on which number he was wear for the Fins. 

Dolphins' new defensive lineman Teair Tart will wear Christian Wilkins' number 94 jersey.

Additionally, Tart will take Wilkins' role on the interior defensive line if Miami does not add another immediate impact IDL during the draft. 

Of course, his choice does not actually mean anything to the organization. For fans, though, they have seen the number 94 wreak havoc over the past few seasons. Wilkins was a top interior defender in football over the past two years. 

Miami must find production from Tart and others in order to fill Wilkins' massive shoes.
