Wilson played for the Patriots last season, recording 26 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.

He also contributed on special teams and played in 20.9 percent of the team's defensive snaps. However, Wilson did not see the field in the final five games.

While the Houston Texans reportedly showed interest in Wilson, his return to the Patriots is expected to be a depth signing.
