Receiver Michael Wilson and the Arizona Cardinals reached agreement on a three-year contract extension, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
The deal is for $75 million with a maximum value of $78 million, and includes $47 million in guaranteed money, Schefter reports. Wilson will play out the final season of his rookie contract this year at an estimated $3.9 million, according to Spotrac.
The total value of the contract and average annual salary of $25 million ranks Wilson among the top 25 receivers in the NFL.

Wilson, 26, had a breakout campaign in his third NFL season with 78 receptions for 1,006 yards and 7 touchdowns in 17 games (13 starts), first among Cardinals wideouts. He stepped up his production in Arizona’s final eight games of the season, registering 775 receiving yards.
(Tight end Trey McBride led the Cardinals with 126 catches, 1,239 yards and 11 TDs.)
With that performance, Wilson surpassed 2024 first-round pick (selected No. 4 overall) Marvin Harrison Jr. on the Arizona depth chart. The 6-foot-2, 213-pound receiver was Arizona’s 2023 third-round selection out of Stanford.
