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.

Wilson and the Cardinals had been in talks regarding a contract extension for months, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. However, the receiver and his representation didn't think the team's initial offers were sufficient for his production.

Wilson became the third receiver of the 2023 NFL Draft class to register a 1,000-yard season, joining Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zay Flowers. Like those two, he now has a multiyear extension.
