Garrett Wilson Rejects Trade Talk as Jets WR Laments 15-Season Playoff Drought

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 29

Garrett Wilson said he wants to stay with the Jets but made clear winning matters more as trade rumors swirl around the 2-5 team before the Nov. 10 deadline.
Wilson tied his visible sideline frustration to the Jets' losing culture, saying repeated defeats hurt more after years of optimism and that his reactions come from wanting to win.
The latest flashpoint came in a 28-25 loss to Miami, when Wilson saw just 3 targets and finished with 2 catches for 26 yards after a 4-catch, 44-yard game the week before.
His comments carry extra weight because the Jets signed him to a 4-year, $130 million extension through 2030, even as the club has shown a willingness to move expensive first-round talent.
Since New York drafted him 10th overall in 2022, Wilson has gone 24-51 with the franchise, which owns the longest active playoff drought in major U.S. pro sports at 15 seasons.
