What happened: The New York Jets will not trade wide receiver Garrett Wilson ahead of the deadline, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, Brian Thomas Jr., Josh Downs, Jauan Jennings, Jerry Jeudy, and Calvin Ridley continue to circulate as potential targets across the league.

Why it matters: New York remains 2-5 on the season but continues to treat Wilson as an essential offensive cornerstone. The decision keeps the former first-round pick in place while other franchises explore secondary options before the window closes.

By the numbers: Wilson caught 36 passes for 395 yards and 4 touchdowns in 7 games last season (2025) with the Jets. Thomas recorded 48 receptions for 707 yards and 2 touchdowns in 14 games last season (2025) with the Jaguars.

What to watch: The Jets host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
