Cardinals Lock Up S Wilson For Five Years

POSTED: 1:33 pm MST June 4, 2009

(Sports Network) - The Arizona Cardinals will keep one of their premier defenders for possibly the remainder of his career, agreeing to a new five-year contract with strong safety Adrian Wilson on Thursday. Terms of the contract were not released.

Wilson, who could have become a free agent at the end of the 2009 season, is now under contract through the 2013 campaign.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Wilson is the longest tenured Cardinal, helping guide the team to their first Super Bowl appearance last year, when he compiled 85 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and two interceptions.

The 29-year-old North Carolina State product has made two Pro Bowl appearances in his eight years with Arizona. Wilson has played in 118 regular season games -- 100 starts -- and recorded 651 tackles, 18 interceptions, 18 1/2 sacks and 10 forced fumbles.

Wilson is on the verge of becoming just the ninth player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions in their career.
