The 27-year-old's previous deal with the company expired in 2015, with rumors swirling he would sign with Under Armour.
Wilson has arguably become one of the league's most marketable stars, with his endorsement deals with the likes of American Family Insurance and Levi's and appearances in commercials for Pepsi and Microsoft.
