Report: Cardinals Have "Movement" in Talks with WR Michael Wilson

Arizona has tried to extend Michael Wilson after his 1,006-yard season, but a deal is unlikely before Week 1, ESPN reported.

  • On Thursday, the Arizona Cardinals and wide receiver Michael Wilson agreed to a three-year contract extension, securing him through the 2029 campaign.
  • Wilson, 26, earned the extension after logging 78 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025, becoming the first Cardinals receiver to surpass 1,000 yards since 2020.
  • Spotrac projects Wilson's market value at a four-year, $73 million contract, below the Packers' four-year, $92 million deal for Christian Watson, though Watson is considered Green Bay's clear WR1.
  • Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort stated, "He's a guy that we want around here a long time," emphasizing the team's commitment to retaining its rising star.
  • Rewarding Wilson signals the Cardinals' commitment to their rebuild, providing a reliable young pass-catcher for the future franchise quarterback as Arizona aims to return to playoff contention.
