Sources: Cardinals, Michael Wilson reach 3-year, $75M extension - ESPN

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have signed wide receiver Michael Wilson to a three-year extension, the team announced Thursday, $75 million extension, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Thursday.

The extension is worth $75 million and has a maximum value of $78 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wilson will receive $47 million guaranteed, sources said.

Negotiations had slowed after multiple offers from the Cardinals over the past few months but reignited Wednesday, a source told ESPN. Wilson, who had a year left on his rookie deal, is now under contract through the 2029 season.

Wilson is coming off his best NFL season in 2025, when he eclipsed 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. He finished with 1,006 yards after starting with just 52 through five games.

Talks on Wilson's deal began earlier this offseason and included a number of offers that Wilson's team did not deem sufficient, sources told ESPN. During his training camp news conference in early August, Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort did not seem optimistic a deal would get done.

«He's a guy that we want around here a long time,» Ossenfort said at the time. «There's no question about it. So, I mean, expect, that's a tough word.»

Wilson, 26, always believed the market would dictate his contract.

«I think if you look at the market and guys who have eclipsed 1,000 yards who are outside players, what those guys are getting paid and where that puts you amongst receivers, I think the market speaks for itself,» Wilson told ESPN in June. «And I think outside receivers who have gotten 1,000 yards, they're being compensated what the market dictates.»
