Wilson's $75M extension locks in breakout WR1 after 1,006-yard 2025 season.

Signed a 3-year extension worth $75M with $47M guaranteed and maximum value of $78M; the source notes this was a favorable move by the Cardinals to lock in Wilson early rather than risk his value rising further or losing him in free agency. The extension came after Wilson's breakout 2025 season where he logged 126 targets, 78 receptions, 1,006 yards, and 7 touchdowns—a dramatic improvement from his early-season role-player status under Kyler Murray (18 targets, 8 receptions, 52 yards, 1 TD in first five weeks).
