Overview
- Wilson told reporters Wednesday that he has not asked to be traded and that he wants to stay in New York and help the team win.
- His target share and production have dropped in recent games, including a two-catch, 26-yard outing in Week 7, which has raised questions about how coaches are using him.
- The Jets are 2-5 and rank near the bottom of the league in scoring and yardage, a slide that has driven outside talk about trading top assets.
- Wilson is set to begin a four-year, $130 million contract next year, which increases the cost and complexity of any trade before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- What to watch next: whether coaches follow through on public promises to get Wilson more targets, how the team performs in its upcoming stretch of games, and whether other teams pursue Wilson despite his statement.
