The Arizona Cardinals lost one of their 2019 draft picks this week. Tight end Caleb Wilson, Mr. Irrelevant of the 2019 draft class as he was the last selection of the draft, was signed by the Washington Redskins off the practice squad.
Wilson had spent all season on the practice squad after initially getting cut before the season.
The Cardinals have four tight ends already on their roster in Charles Clay, Maxx Williams, Darrell Daniels and Dan Arnold, whom they recently claimed off waivers.
Wilson, while in his final season at UCLA in 2018, led the nation in receiving yards by a tight end.
If signed only to a one-year deal, if retained until the end of the season, Washington will retain exclusive rights to Wilson in the offseason.
