This doesn't sound like somebody who wants out (pulled from a Cimini article: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43064614/jets-garrett-wilson-tries-clear-air-sideline-outburst) "I just go about my day ... wherever my feet are at. If they [extend my contract], that would be a blessing. It would be awesome. I love the Jets. At the end of the day, they were the ones that believed in me. But, yeah, I can't be worrying about that. I have to go out and finish these three games the right way."
Garrett needs to meet with the new GM and Head Coach before even thinking of asking for a trade. The team is clearly headed in a new direction. If he doesn’t like what they say, then sure, ask for a trade. Play out 2025, option in 2026, and then tagged in 2027 and 2028. The last thing the Jets should do is let legitimate young talent leave the building.
"I'd like to be involved, love to make an impact on the game, but people see it differently," Wilson said. "That's out of my control." “People” = Rodgers and Adams
If there is any fuel needed for this possible trade request rumor, this is it. I don't think Adams is the decision maker, but Brick/Downing/Rodgers need to start feeding GW first in the last two games. This comment is pretty bad.
Then you trade him and you get a HAUL for him. The Jets need to build and build man. I would love to keep him but you don't trade him for anything less than two firsts, otherwise, he sits out.
No, he is a keeper. Even if he requests a trade, we can't trade him. We don't really have a WR room without him. Adams is getting old and is likely gone next season, and without GW, who do we have? The rest of the room are not even NFL players. I don't understand why Gipson is on the roster. Corley cannot get into active roster over a guy like Smith, whom they met on the way to the stadium. I do hope Corley is not terrible (there is a sliver of hope there since he was coming from small school and learning curve may be bigger so he could take a leap), but we certainly cannot count on him. Maybe the only silver lining from Reddick holdout is that it showed it might not be the best idea to miss a lot of games like that. We have GW's rights and I would not trade him even if he asks. Still, new Jets FO needs to do anything possible to avoid it. I would actually try to extend him this offseason.
The jets new Gm will have to make some tough decisions. Sauce, Wilson, Johnson and Hall are getting close to the end of their rookie deals. AVT will want an extension, and the defense has tons of free agents. Lazard and Ruckert stink and should be cut. And then of course Rodgers and Adams seem to hold all the cards. If a team ever needed a fresh set of eyes to review and remake the roster, it's the jets.
My point still stands… The NIL was only a piece of an example. For these kids to have any career longevity, they need to win. The New York Jets aren’t winning anytime within the next half to full decade so, if I were him, and wanted any form of legacy other than that of shit I would get out of New York land.
My biggest concern is basically the morale. The morale in that building is horrendous. Before any football moves take place, whomever they sucker and bring in is going to have to take care of that before he does anything else.
The title of this thread is so mis-stated. The "demise" has been going on for over 50 years with no end in sight.
Costello made the point that the new regime should extend Wilson and Gardner right away so they can be part of the solution here. I feel like I agree with that. He said things are "volatile" right now with both Wilson and Gardner and an extension could help with their malaise. Clearly Wilson has been frustrated but I saw some of the comments Gardner made after yesterday and I hate seeing him like that. -- Yeah- Sauce hasnt had a good year but you know a new GM coming in and taking a stand - "look we aren't chasing washed up 40-year-olds from other teams anymore. We are building with our own guys" could go a long way towards bringing back the Sauce Gardner we used to see out there
Hey Garrett aka fumble (rooskie) man, you have done NOTHING in 3 years. Your team has lost more than 10 games EVERY SEASON you have been here. You are no better than any of the other 52 stiffs on this roster. You should be humble, keep your trap shut, go out and play football as you are paid to do. Nobody who pays thousands of dollars to go to that shitheap stadium (usually in the rain) to watch a garbage product, wants to listen to a spoiled brat diva wr whining about not getting touches. HOWS ABOUT YOU GO WIN SOME GOD DAMNED GAMES FIRST. They all make me sick and I cannot wait until they are done and out of our lives for the next 8 months.
Nah Wilson has been solid on a shit show of a team. Can’t put the L’s or the shitty stadium on him. He’s one of maybe a handful of players worth keeping over the next few seasons because you need someone for the QB to throw too.
