New York Jets fans have reacted angrily to comments made by former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson regarding a potential trade involving wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Wilson, now working as an analyst, speculated about the possibility of Garrett Wilson being traded and urged two unidentified "heavyweight" teams to pursue a deal for the Jets' star receiver.
The remarks drew immediate backlash on social media, with Jets supporters labeling Wilson "out of touch" and demanding he "knock it off." Fans viewed the speculation as disrespectful to the franchise and its young offensive centerpiece.
Garrett Wilson, drafted 10th overall in 2022, has emerged as one of the NFL's premier young receivers, posting consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. The Jets have given no indication they are willing to move their top offensive weapon.
Russell Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler who played for the Seahawks, Broncos, and Steelers during his 12-year career, transitioned to media work following his release from Pittsburgh earlier this year.
