-
The Las Vegas Raiders traded edge defender Tyree Wilson to the New Orleans Saints in a draft-related deal. In return, Las Vegas received the 150th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, while sending back Tyree Wilson and the Saints’ 219th pick (seventh round) to complete the swap. This move marks Wilson’s exit from the Raiders after being the No. 7 overall pick in 2023. [Sources indicate the trade details and selections involved]
-
For the Saints, Wilson is slated to join the defensive front as a potential upgrade at edge rushing, with the Saints previously noted as pursuing pass-rush help this offseason. Wilson’s production with the Raiders included a career-high 10 QB hits in 2024, though his overall impact had not matched the top-10 expectations from his draft profile.
-
For the Raiders, the trade clears a path to recoup draft capital (picking 150th) and reallocate assets, while Wilson heads to a team that may give him a fresh set of opportunities to re-establish his trajectory. The move follows ongoing conversations about Wilson’s fit and future with Las Vegas.
