Arizona Cardinals GM perhaps gave hint about Michael Wilson's future
We compare what Monti Ossenfort said this offseason about Michael Wilson with what he said about Trey McBride last year.
After a career season in which he had more than 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson finds himself entering the final year of his rookie contract and eligible for a contract extension. After only one big season, would the Cardinals give him a long-term extension? Well, if we compare what general manager Monti Ossenfort said about him and compare it with tight end Trey McBride, whom they signed to a contract extension last year, there are similarities.
When he was at the NFL combine last month, Ossenfort was asked about a potential extension for Wilson. "Everybody's in different situations," Ossenfort said. "Here's what I'd say about Michael.
Michael had an outstanding year for us, he's a great person, he works, he leads and he produced on the field. Michael's about everything we want our program to be about and hopefully he's here for a long time. " Let's compare that to what Ossenfort said last year at the combine about McBride.
He did make it clear that he wanted to extend McBride, saying he was "certainly a guy that we would love to extend. " He considered McBride "absolutely" a franchise cornerstone. "Trey is a guy who does everything the right way," Ossenfort said.
