Nahshon Wright Signals Trade Interest After Not Playing on Defense

His public frustration and lack of snaps raise the chance the Jets will seek a pre-deadline trade to recoup value.

Overview

  • Wright told ESPN he is "definitely frustrated" and has "expressed [his] feelings" to the Jets without formally requesting a trade, a comment first reported on Oct. 28.
  • Pro-Football-Reference data cited in coverage shows Wright has not played a single defensive snap this season and has appeared sparingly on special teams.
  • The 28-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Jets this offseason that included $3.5 million guaranteed and was signed after a Pro Bowl breakout in Chicago in 2025.
  • Reporters and analysts say a trade before the Nov. 10 deadline is likely, and the Chicago Bears are often named as a natural fit because Wright already knows Dennis Allen’s system and has coach connections there.
  • If the Jets move Wright they could recoup draft value rather than lose him after the one-year contract ends, and Wright would get a chance to return to a scheme where he produced turnovers and earned a Pro Bowl nod.
