Overview
- Wright, a Pro Bowl cornerback in 2025 with the Chicago Bears, signed a one-year deal with the New York Jets in the 2026 offseason but missed time in training camp with an injury that limited his early availability.
- This season he has not played a single defensive snap for New York and has appeared only sparingly on special teams, a usage pattern confirmed by game snap reports and team charts.
- Wright told ESPN this week that he is “definitely frustrated” and has told team officials how he feels while stopping short of a formal trade request.
- Reporters and analysts now widely expect Wright could be moved before the Nov. 10 trade deadline because his contract runs only through the season and the Jets would likely seek any return rather than lose him for nothing in free agency.
- Chicago is repeatedly named a logical landing spot given Wright’s 2025 production and familiarity with Dennis Allen’s scheme, and a reunion would probably cost a late-round pick or a minimal return if the Jets decide to trade him.
