Christian Watson contract sets tone for Michael Wilson extension negotiations
Summary

Christian Watson's recent contract extension with the Green Bay Packers will help frame negotiations for Arizona Cardinals receiver Michael Wilson. Watson's deal is reportedly a maximum of $110 million but structured as a $92.5 million extension, averaging $23.1 million annually. Wilson, who set career highs in receptions and receiving yards last season, is believed to be in line for a similar contract. His productive performances outpace Watson’s in several areas, potentially leading to a deal that exceeds Watson's figures. The Cardinals have not disclosed the current status of their negotiation talks with Wilson.
