Wilson started 12 games for the Packers last season and is now set to return to the Vikings, with whom he spent the first four years of his career. An eight-year vet of the league, Wilson has primarily served as a backup and special teams player, starting in just 39 of the 125 games he’s appeared in during his career. However, his role as a starter resulted in him playing the second most defensive snaps (556) of his career last season, and his 65.8 defensive grade, per PFF, was one of the highest marks of his career. It’s unlikely Wilson will be tabbed as a starter in 2025, but he has the experience to step in at a moment’s notice for the Vikings and perform at a serviceable level.

Wilson is a core special teamer who contributed 123 competent snaps as a reserve linebacker in 2023. 2024 will be his age-30 campaign.

Wilson joined the club after he was signed from the Saints' practice squad midway through the 2022 season. The six-year veteran hasn't started meaningful games since the 2020 season with the Vikings but should play an integral depth role for the Packers' 3-4 defensive scheme. His primary contribution should come on special teams, where he has emerged as a core piece for Green Bay.

Wilson was on the Saints practice squad. The 28-year-old spent seven games with both Houston and Philadelphia last season and has extensive special teams experience.
