Muhammad Wilkerson is a quiet man.

The 6-foot-4 Jets star prefers to make his statements on the field and not through the media, but he is fed up and revealed his feelings for the first time Wednesday.

The Jets still have not locked up Wilkerson with the long-term contract they have professed to want to sign him to for two years. Instead, three months away from the season he remains locked in a contract standoff with the team.

“It’s shocking. It’s frustrating,” Wilkerson told The Post in an exclusive interview. “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?”

It is a question Jets fans have asked this offseason, but general manager Mike Maccagnan has not really answered it. Maccagnan and coach Todd Bowles both say they want Wilkerson to remain a Jet long-term, but the team’s actions tell a different story to Wilkerson.

“Do I feel that they want me back? As of right now, no. I don’t feel like they want me,” Wilkerson said in his first public comments since last season. “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.”

A long-term contract between the Jets and Wilkerson appears unlikely. The two sides are far apart and the gap may have grown even wider this week when the Eagles handed defensive lineman Fletcher Cox a six-year, $103 million extension that includes a $26 million signing bonus. If Wilkerson plays under the $15.7 million franchise tag this season, his earnings for the last two years will total $22.7 million, not even what Cox got in his signing bonus.

Don’t think that deal went unnoticed by Wilkerson, whose asking price now starts at the Cox deal.

“I think he’s a great player. Do I feel like I’m better than him? Yes,” Wilkerson said. “Not to be cocky, it’s just a confidence thing. Everybody in the league that plays feels like they’re the best player at their position. If you ask any NFL player, they’re going to say they’re the best at their position.

“I feel like I’m better than him and whatever [his deal is] I deserve that or better.”

For Wilkerson, the reality that long-term security is a must in the NFL was underscored when he broke a bone in his right leg in the third quarter of the Jets’ season finale against the Bills. He has spent the offseason rehabbing the leg and is now running. Wilkerson will be ready when the season starts. He has skipped the Jets offseason workouts and this week’s minicamp. Because he has not yet signed his franchise tender, he cannot be fined for sitting it out.

For most of the spring, Wilkerson rehabbed in Arizona, but last month he decided it was time to return to the Jets’ headquarters in Florham Park. Even though he was not participating in OTAs, he wanted the team to know how healthy he was.

“I decided it was about that time when I was running to come back and finish up my rehab here so these guys know I’m good,” he said. “My leg is fine and I’m healthy and I’ll be ready to go. I’m rehabbing at the facility. I’m in there morning every day rehabbing. On my end, I’m all in. I’m all for being here long-term. I’m just going to continue going about things the right way and hopefully things will play out the way they’re supposed to.”

Wilkerson is hosting charity events Friday and Saturday in his hometown of Linden, NJ, and has not decided whether he will show up on time for training camp when it begins in late July. He said he will consult with his agent and make the best decision. The Jets would be unable to fine him for missing camp practices if he does not sign his tender.

The 26-year-old is coming off a season in which he led the team with 12 sacks, was a force against the run and earned his first Pro Bowl selection. He is confident he can bounce back from this injury.

“I feel like I had one of my best years since I’ve been in the league,” Wilkerson said. “I’m not going to let this leg injury stop me. I’m going to take things slowly and come out next year and dominate again.”

The contract drama has hovered over Wilkerson for two years now. He and agent Chad Wiestling first approached the Jets about an extension in 2014 when John Idzik was in charge. They talked to Maccagnan last year before cutting off negotiations when the season started. This year, despite public statements that they wanted to get a deal done with Wilkerson, the Jets were open to trading him before the NFL draft in April.

“That just shows they don’t want me,” Wilkerson said of the trade talk. “They are willing to let me walk or whatever the case may be.”

Wilkerson does not believe the Jets have really tried to sign him to an extension. The two sides have until July 15 to get a deal done or Wilkerson’s only option will be to play under the franchise tag if he wants to play in 2016.

“I don’t think they’re trying like they should. We’ve still got time,” Wilkerson said. “The deadline is in a month. We’ve got some time.”

Wilkerson expects to be on the field on Sept. 11 when the Jets open the season against the Bengals. He said despite his current feelings, when he gets on the field he will put the business behind him and play like he always has.

“I’m all in,” Wilkerson said. “I’m all for being a Jet and finishing my career here. I love the Jets fans. I appreciate all the support from them and I just hope I can continue my career here and play in front of one of the best crowds in the league.”

On Wednesday, a quiet man roared. You have to wonder whether the Jets are listening.
