Wilson, 26, spent last season with the Miami Dolphins and will serve as the backup quarterback to Tyler Shough.
After three disappointing seasons with the Jets, they traded him to the Denver Broncos in April 2024. The Broncos declined Wilson's fifth-year option, and, after the season, he signed with the Dolphins.
With the Jets, Wilson started 33 games, going 12-21 while completing 57% of his passes for 6,293 yards with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.
Wilson will join Shough and 2024 fourth-round pick Spencer Rattler in the quarterback room.
Shough impressed in his nine starts last season. The Saints went 5-4 in his starts while Shough completed 67.6% of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns with six interceptions. He also ran for 186 yards and three touchdowns.
The Saints hope he remains healthy as they look to win the NFC South next season and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
