The Cardinals have secured their rising wideout. Arizona reached an agreement Wednesday with standout wide receiver Michael Wilson on a three-year extension that keeps him in Arizona through the 2029 season, with Wilson expected to sign the deal Thursday, per Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Cardinals reached agreement Wednesday with standout WR Michael Wilson on a three-year extension that keeps him in Arizona through the 2029 season, per me and @RapSheet. Wilson is expected to sign the deal today.
The numbers: three years, $75 million with a maximum value of $78 million, including $47 million guaranteed — a deal negotiated by Andrew Kessler of Athletes First, per Rapoport and Schefter.
Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): The #AZCardinals’ deal for WR Michael Wilson is a 3-year, $75M extension with a maximum value of $78M, per me and @AdamSchefter. He gets $47M guaranteed in a deal negotiated by Andrew Kessler at Athletes First.
Wilson is coming off a career season — 78 catches, 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns, per Schefter. The extension buys out what would have been a contract year and locks in one of the league's productive young receivers, a key piece of an Arizona offense that has quietly built one of the deeper skill groups in the NFC. For a Cardinals team that spent Wednesday keeping its own core intact rather than shopping elsewhere, the message is simple: the players who produced are the players who get paid.
