'No way' Jets trade Garrett Wilson by deadline, source says - ESPN

As trade talks ramp up across the NFL, there is one player who isn't going anywhere before the deadline despite increased speculation: New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

One well-placed source told ESPN this weekend that there is «no way» the Jets will trade Wilson by the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline, despite any interest from other teams.

The Jets might have said the same thing a year ago in regard to cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, only to trade both on deadline day for a bevy of draft picks.

But sources said the situation this year with Wilson is different for various reasons.

The Tennessee Titans told teams there was no way they would trade perennial Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons — until they did Thursday, when they received two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick from the Chicago Bears. But Wilson does seem untouchable before the deadline.

For starters, the Jets have no interest in moving on from Wilson, 26, who is considered to be one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL. The Jets signed him to a four-year, $130 million extension that runs through 2030 a mere 15 months ago.

Additionally, Jets ownership is said to love Wilson and would want no part of trading him, according to sources.

The Jets already have amassed a surplus of draft picks — the Indianapolis Colts' 2027 first-round pick and the higher of Dallas' or Green Bay's 2027 first-round pick — in exchange for Gardner and Williams. At some point, New York needs to prioritize making picks, not accumulating them.

That is the exact plan with Wilson, who is viewed as a central building block as the Jets look to replenish their roster and get stronger on offense in the 2027 draft.
