New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has fueled trade speculation ahead of the November 10 NFL deadline, telling reporters he would not rule out a move if it increased his chances of winning. "I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I am hopeful," Wilson said Wednesday. The Jets enter Week 8 with a 2-5 record and little expectation of a turnaround, having also acted as sellers at last year's deadline. That decision left them with three first-round picks in the upcoming April draft, and the front office could seek a fourth by moving the 26-year-old receiver, who is under contract for multiple seasons.
Six Teams Linked as Potential Suitors
Las Vegas Raiders: After a 3-0 start, the Raiders have lost four straight games. Defensive struggles persist, and the receiving corps needs reinforcement. Wilson would provide a reliable target for the offense, including future quarterback plans.
Baltimore Ravens: With Lamar Jackson healthy, the Ravens are an AFC contender. Zay Flowers has emerged as a Pro Bowl target, but adding Wilson alongside Derrick Henry in the backfield would create a formidable offensive trio.
Kansas City Chiefs: The 5-1 Chiefs have been connected to receiver trades for weeks. While limited options haven't hurt them yet, playoff matchups against elite defenses could expose the lack of a true No. 1 wideout. With Travis Kelce likely in his final season, acquiring Wilson would give Patrick Mahomes a long-term top target.
Minnesota Vikings: Despite having Justin Jefferson, the Vikings rank near the bottom of the league in passing yards per game. Pairing the two star receivers would challenge NFC North defenses, though salary-cap implications would need consideration.
Atlanta Falcons: The NFC South remains wide open, and Atlanta could accelerate its rebuild around quarterback Michael Penix Jr., running back Bijan Robinson, and Drake London. Adding Wilson would give the Falcons a dynamic offensive core for 2026 and beyond.
