What happened: Asked whether he has requested or plans to ask for a trade, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson answered 'no' and stated he wants to remain with the club, per Connor Hughes. Ian Rapoport highlighted the on-record denial as unfounded trade rumors continue to circulate.

Why it matters: External trade chatter around New York's roster has intensified with the team sitting at 2-5 and in the No. 11 seed ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline. Drafted 10th overall by the Jets in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Wilson's public commitment takes a foundational offensive piece off the deadline board.

By the numbers: New York is on a two-game losing streak following a 28-25 defeat on Oct. 25, while Wilson totaled 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns in seven games with the Jets in 2025, per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026).

What to watch: Front offices across the league have until the Nov. 10 deadline to finalize midseason deals as the Jets evaluate the rest of their roster.
