Tyree Wilson Traded: Saints on Notice for 2026

0:00On April 27, Tyree Wilson just got traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New Orleans Saints, and now he's on notice for the 2026. Season. The Saints planned to decline his fifth year option, which would have locked in $14.5 million for 2027. He'll earn $4.2 million next year before hitting free agency. The deal went down Saturday with the Raiders sending Wilson and a 7th round pick to New Orleans for a fifth round they used on Arizona Safety, Dalton Johnson. It's a fresh star for the 25-year-old defensive end, who's entering year 4 of his rookie deal. Wilson's been a disappointment so far as the 7th overall pick from the 2023 draft. In 50 games over three seasons, he's only got 12 sacks, despite missing just one game. Last year, he had 35 tackles, four sacks, two force fumbles, and a couple other plays, but the Raiders' defense was trash, giving up over. 300 yards in 25 points per game and root to a 3 and 14 record. Meanwhile, the Saints had a

1:02sturdier unit, allowing under 300 yards and 22.5 points per game. Raiders fans saw the writing on the wall after firing their coach and grabbing the top draft pick. Wilson's got one shot in 2026 to ball out and boost his value before free agency calls, so expect him to bring the heat or risk fading. Into the league's background noise.
