  • On July 14, Wilson finalized a four-year, $130 million deal featuring $90 million guaranteed, a $13.75 million signing bonus and tiered option bonuses that keep him under contract through 2030 at a $32.5 million average value.
  • Wilson has posted three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with 279 receptions for 3,249 yards and 14 touchdowns, earning 2022 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and joining an elite group with 80-plus catches and 1,000-plus yards in each of his first three campaigns.
