What happened: Arizona's deal keeps Michael Wilson under contract through 2029 and can reach $78 million. The new coaching staff valued his consistent release off the line across assignments and his full-speed approach.
Why it matters: The commitment establishes Wilson as a long-term piece before Arizona opens the 2026 season. It also resolves a contract-year decision at receiver.
By the numbers: The extension carries a $75 million base value, or $25 million per added season.
What to watch: Wilson was expected to sign Thursday. His role in the new offense will test the staff's early conviction.
