The Dallas Cowboys agreed to terms to re-sign safety Donovan Wilson to a three-year deal worth up to $24 million, according to sources. The first two years of the deal are fully guaranteed at $13.5 million. Wilson only played in nine games due to injury in 2021, but he cashed in after bouncing back in a big way for the Cowboys last year. The 28-year-old recorded a career-high 101 tackles (77 solo), a career-high five sacks, seven tackles for loss, nine QB hits, an interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 17 regular season starts in his fourth year in the NFL. Wilson will remain a starter for the Cowboys and should be back on the fantasy radar in IDP leagues in 2023.
Upcoming free-agent safety Donovan Wilson isn't expected to return to Dallas, according to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The 28-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, finishing with a team-high 101 total tackles, adding five sacks and one interception. With the Cowboys looking to secure new agreements with Tony Pollard, Dalton Schultz, and Ezekiel Elliott, to name a few, keeping Wilson on the roster may be challenging. However, the 2019 sixth-round pick shouldn't be unemployed for long if he doesn't remain in Dallas, as many teams around the league will be interested in his services.
