From the article

If Ossenfort agreed to an extension, it would have been a buy-high scenario, so he was smart to wait to see if Wilson can duplicate those results in 2026... You know the offense will run through WR1, Trey McBride and eventually Jeremiyah Love. You have time, no need to hurry to extend Wilson.

STACKED’s take

Wilson extension stalled; Cardinals smart to wait on 1,000-yard repeat before paying.

Both Michael Wilson and the Cardinals want to get a contract extension done, but neither side wants to do it right now. Wilson's side believes he could produce another 1,000+ yard season and break the bank. The Cardinals' side is hesitant because if Marvin Harrison Jr. breaks out and Wilson remains the sidekick, why pay for him? The offense will run through WR1, Trey McBride, and eventually Jeremiah Love. The Cardinals have time and no need to hurry to extend Wilson; Ossenfort was smart to wait and see if Wilson can duplicate his 2025 results in 2026 rather than execute a buy-high scenario.
