Arizona Cardinals may part ways with wide receiver Michael Wilson
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals have not reached a contract extension with wide receiver Michael Wilson, leading to speculation regarding his future with the franchise. Wilson, a former third-round pick, is projected to command a contract between $53 million and $73 million. While the receiver has expressed interest in remaining in Arizona, the team has not engaged in significant progress toward a long-term deal. Potential outcomes include the team trading Wilson before the November deadline if they record a losing record during the early portion of the 2026 season. Other players like Josh Sweat are also mentioned as possible trade candidates should the team pivot toward a roster reconstruction. The Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, and Kansas City Chiefs are identified as potential landing spots if Wilson departs Arizona.
