Saints Trade for Edge Rusher Wilson on One-Year Trial

0:00It's April 26th. You're listening to NFL News today. AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The New Orleans Saints skip drafting edge rushes this weekend, but snagged one anyway through a trade with the Raiders for Tyree Wilson. General manager Mickey Loomans broke it down at a press conference, saying defensive coordinator Brandon Staley already has a clear vision for how. Wilson slots into the defense. Wilson went seventh overall in the 2023 draft, and now he's on a one-year trial with the Saints to prove himself before they even think about extending past the 2026 season. Loomans made a plane they're not jumping on that fifth year option, which would lock in $14,475,000 for 2027. If Wilson balls out though, it could mean a fat contract next offseason, turning into a sweet dilemma for the Saints to handle down the line.
