Adam Schefter confirmed Wilson is receiving a one-year deal from New Orleans. 

Wilson, 26, was a three-year starter at BYU and a first-team All-Independent League selection as a junior. The Jets drafted Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft. 

Wilson signed a four-year, $35,150,680 contract with the Jets that includes a $22,924,131 signing bonus. 

After looking to move on from Wilson all offseason, the Jets traded him to the Broncos and retained half of Wilson’s remaining $5.5 million guaranteed salary for 2024. Denver gave up a sixth-round pick in the trade and received a seventh back from New York along with Wilson.

The Broncos declined Wilson’s fifth-year option, which made him an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He signed a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Dolphins last offseason. 

In 2025, Wilson appeared in four games for the Dolphins and completed six of 11 pass attempts for 32 yards.
