The Saints acquired Tyree Wilson from the Raiders in a trade and will not pick up his $14.475 million fifth-year option for 2027.
General Manager Mickey Loomis explained that defensive coordinator Brandon Staley has a specific vision for Wilson's role, but the team will evaluate his fit during the 2026 season.
