Former Texas A&M Aggies safety Donovan Wilson finally got his big NFL payday on Tuesday morning, agreeing to re-sign with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year $24 million deal, per reports.

The first two years and $13.5 million of Wilson's deal will be fully guaranteed.

Wilson, who came to the Cowboys as a sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Texans A&M, emerged as a major playmaker for Dallas in 2022, playing in and starting all 17 games in the regular season, as well as both playoff games.

Wilson finished the 2022 season with 101 tackles, seven tackles for loss, nine quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, and two pass deflections, as well as an interception.

He also had 14 tackles and two pass deflections in the Cowboys' two playoff games.

While at Texas A&M, Wilson was also a standout, playing in 43 games over four seasons, and spending three of those seasons as a starter.

In that time, Wilson had 199 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, eight interceptions, and five sacks with seven pass deflections.

In his final season with the Aggies, he led the team in interceptions with two, and was second on the team with 66 tackles.
