Speculations about Jets Star Wide Receiver, Garrett Wilson’s Trade: Here’s What We Know

Post Davante Adams Acquisition: The Buzz Surrounding Garrett Wilson

Following the New York Jets’ recent acquisition of Davante Adams, numerous NFL teams have reportedly shown interest in the possibility of trading for the Jets’ star wide receiver, Garrett Wilson. According to insider information provided on Saturday, several teams have reached out to the Jets to inquire about Wilson’s availability.

However, sources have confirmed that the Jets are not currently planning to trade Wilson, despite the inquiries. The increased interest in Wilson is understandable, given the Jets’ recent upgrade to their wide receiver lineup with the addition of Adams.

Future Projections and Market Dynamics

Teams are well aware that Wilson is poised to secure a high-value contract, similar to those recently signed by other top-tier wide receivers, as the market for the position continues to boom. Some teams have shown willingness to acquire Wilson, with the understanding that they would also be prepared to offer the former first-round draft pick a lucrative contract once he becomes eligible.

However, for now, it appears that any discussions surrounding Wilson’s trade are purely hypothetical, as the Jets have expressed their intention to retain him.

Meanwhile, Other Developments in the Jets Team

Mike Williams: A Potential Trade?

While the Jets are not expected to trade Wilson, they are reportedly considering offers for veteran wide receiver, Mike Williams, according to league insiders. Despite missing practice sessions earlier this week due to personal reasons, the eight-year veteran is expected to play in Sunday night’s game against the Steelers.

Previously, the Las Vegas Raiders had shown interest in including Williams in their potential trade for Adams. However, Williams was not included in the finalized trade deal. For now, the Jets have decided to hold onto Williams, but this may change soon. League sources suggest that the Steelers and the Chargers, where Williams spent the first seven years of his career, are among the interested teams.

Williams’ Future and Role in Jets: A Mystery?

Substantive discussions about Williams’ future have been postponed until next week, as per league sources. Williams and Jets interim coach, Jeff Ulbrich, have not disclosed the reasons for Williams’ recent absence from practice. After a recent game mishap where Williams was chided by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, there have been speculations about his future role in the team, especially in the wake of the Jets’ trade for Adams.

Williams, however, has expressed his excitement about the addition of Adams to the Jets’ lineup, although he tactfully avoided questions about his potential trade.
