The Las Vegas Raiders have traded defensive end Tyree Wilson and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round selection, per @AdamSchefter.
According to the report, the Raiders will receive the 150th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In return, the Saints acquire Wilson and the 219th overall pick. This move marks a significant shift for the Raiders' defense, moving on from the former No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Wilson joined the Raiders with high expectations out of Texas Tech but struggled to find a consistent role in the Las Vegas pass-rushing rotation. By moving to the New Orleans Saints, he joins a defensive unit looking to bolster its depth on the edge. The trade allows the Raiders to accumulate higher draft capital for the 2026 season while providing Wilson with a fresh start in the NFC South.
