Saints Decline Tyree Wilson's Option, Plan Edge Rush with Young

The New Orleans Saints have declined Tyree Wilsons fifth-year option, keeping him on a short leash as a free agent after this season. The Saints traded for Wilson from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2026, aiming to bolster their pass rush without long-term commitment. Wilson, drafted seventh overall in 2023, has posted solid but not superstar stats in 50 games. The Saints plan to line him up on the edge with Chase Young, Carl Granderson, and Anfernee Jennings, potentially sliding him inside on passing downs. With this defensive group, the Saints could finally improve their defense in 2026, making their offense even more formidable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
