Jets star Garrett Wilson drawing trade interest, sources say
After the New York Jets' acquisition of Davante Adams this week, a select group of NFL teams have inquired into whether the Jets would be willing to trade fellow star wide receiver Garrett Wilson, league sources told ESPN on Saturday.
The Jets have heard from other teams but are not planning to trade Wilson, according to sources.
It's understandable why teams would reach out to the Jets, who added talent at the wide receiver position in Adams. These teams also know Wilson eventually will be in line to land the type of lucrative contract that other wide receivers have signed in recent months, as the market at that position has exploded.
Teams have been willing to try to acquire Wilson with the understanding they would be willing to pay the 2022 first-round draft selection once he is eligible for a new contract. But that seems like a moot point for the time being, with New York planning to keep Wilson.
