Arizona Cardinals Sign Wide Receiver Michael Wilson to $75M Extension
Michael Wilson finished with 1,006 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last season as the Cardinals secured a long-term deal.
On Thursday, the Arizona Cardinals signed wide receiver Michael Wilson to a three-year contract extension worth $75 million, keeping him under contract through the 2029 season.
General manager Monti Ossenfort prioritized retaining homegrown talent to build organizational success, focusing on key players drafted since 2023 as the foundation for long-term stability.
Wilson recorded 1,006 receiving yards last season and will earn $25 million annually, outpacing Christian Watson's $23 million average; the deal includes $47 million guaranteed.
Head coach Mike LaFleur praised Wilson's "growth mindset" and noted that signing homegrown players fosters locker room goodwill and reinforces the team's commitment to development.
The Cardinals now commit $97 million in combined annual salary to McBride, Wilson, and Jeremiyah Love, while the front office faces future contract decisions for Marvin Harrison.
