Saints WR Cedrick Wilson Agreed To Pay Cut

The move saves the Saints some spare change, relatively speaking, in cash and cap space while keeping Wilson, an experienced veteran receiver, on the roster. 

Terrell adds Wilson has $342,000 in guarantees after having none previously but that’s a low enough amount to not necessarily guarantee him a roster spot. 

Wilson, 29, is a former sixth-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2018. He agreed to a four-year, $2.6 million contract with Dallas but spent his rookie season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

The Cowboys waived Wilson coming out of the preseason and later re-signed him to their practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster a few weeks later. 

Dallas brought Wilson back on a restricted free-agent deal worth $2.183 million for the 2021 season. He was then testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to a three-year, $22.8 million deal with the Dolphins.

Wilson agreed to a pay cut and shortened deal and became a free agent after the 2023 season. He then signed a two-year deal with the Saints. 

In 2024, Wilson appeared in 15 games for the Saints and caught 20 passes on 27 targets for 211 yards and a touchdown.
