An NFL analysis recently proposed a potential trade package for New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, sparking speculation about his future with the franchise. While Wilson has publicly expressed a desire to remain with the team long-term, the possibility of exploring his trade value adds a layer of intrigue to the offseason.
Wilson has been a standout performer since being drafted 10th overall in 2022, recording three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Despite his success, New York’s lack of offensive consistency and changes in quarterback personnel have raised questions about the team’s direction.
Analysts suggest New York could explore a trade for Wilson to secure a haul of draft picks, including a first-, fourth-, and sixth-round pick in 2026. The proposed trade considerations stem from New York’s recent shift in offensive strategy under new quarterback Justin Fields.
With a focus on building a strong ground game, some argue that Wilson, while immensely talented, may not align with the team’s evolving priorities. However, Wilson’s impact as a proven WR1 at just 24 years old makes him an invaluable asset for any offense.

Ultimately, the Jets must determine if Wilson is happy with how they’re trending after swapping out Rodgers with Fields and what they’re willing to pay him. Otherwise, they could look to reap the benefits of trading a top target who’s just entering his prime and reshape their offense entirely.
Wilson’s contract situation further complicates matters, as he is set to earn $6.5 million in 2025 and $16.8 million in 2026 under his fifth-year option. While his next deal could place him among the league’s highest-paid receivers, Wilson has emphasized his commitment to building something special in New York. This sentiment suggests he remains invested in the Jets’ vision.
Ultimately, New York faces a critical decision in balancing Wilson’s value against their long-term plans. Trading Wilson could yield significant assets, but retaining him ensures a cornerstone player for their offense. The outcome of this scenario will shape the Jets’ trajectory for years to come.
