Despite increased speculation, the New York Jets have no intention of trading star wide receiver Garrett Wilson before the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline. A well-placed source told ESPN there is "no way" the Jets will move Wilson, even though other teams have shown interest. This contrasts with last year, when the Jets traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams on deadline day.
Unlike those players, Wilson is considered a central building block for the franchise. He signed a four-year, $130 million extension just 15 months ago, and Jets ownership reportedly loves him. The team already has a surplus of draft picks from previous trades and needs to focus on using them to rebuild, not accumulate more.
Wilson himself recently stated he does not want to be traded, saying, "I want to be here, man. I want to win games." While other receivers like Brian Thomas Jr. and Jerry Jeudy may be available, Wilson is seen as untouchable.
