Wilson's been a better player than Gay, for sure.
Interestingly, I think the concern for most about Wilson was his ceiling - it just didn't seem terribly high. And ultimately hasn't it played out that way?
He improved through his first 3 years to become a really really good player in his 3rd year. But fell back quite a bit in 2023 and seemed to really struggle in coverage last year as well before he got hurt.
Gay was a ceiling over floor pick that didn't work out, but when you see how quickly Wilson plateaued in Cincy, you can at least see the rationale.
Maybe a new DC will get him back on the trend he was showing before he signed his deal.
