What happened: ESPN's Adam Schefter stated Tuesday that the New York Jets will not trade wide receiver Garrett Wilson to the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Schefter dismissed rumors linking Wilson to a reunion with former teammate Aaron Rodgers, emphasizing that New York views the receiver as an essential piece of its long-term roster.

Why it matters: Pittsburgh entered its Week 9 bye at 6-2 atop the AFC North while exploring receiver additions, having recently evaluated targeting Wilson ahead of the deadline. The 2-6 Jets remain committed to Wilson after signing the 26-year-old to a four-year, $130 million contract extension in 2025.

By the numbers: Wilson has caught 43 passes for 527 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games for New York. Pittsburgh enters its bye week at 6-2 on a four-game winning streak, while the Jets sit at 2-6 following three consecutive losses.

What to watch: Pittsburgh must look elsewhere for receiving help before the Nov. 10 deadline, while New York moves forward with Wilson anchored as its primary offensive target.
