Michael Wilson Signs $75 Million Extension with Cardinals

Michael Wilson has signed a three-year contract extension worth $75 million with the Arizona Cardinals, following a successful 2025 season. The deal, which can reach a maximum of $78 million, includes $47 million guaranteed.

Wilson, a third-round pick in 2023, had a breakout year in 2025, achieving career highs with 78 receptions, 1,006 receiving yards, and 7 touchdown receptions. His performance made him a key target for opposing defenses.

The Cardinals opted to secure Wilson's future rather than risk losing him to free agency, especially given the potential for his value to increase further. This decision positions the team to maintain a strong receiving corps as they continue their rebuild, while also allowing for future contract considerations with other players like Marvin Harrison Jr.
