Most outsiders agree the New York Jets will likely trade a wide receiver now that they have Davante Adams.
reported late Saturday that several teams have contacted the Jets about whether they would be willing to deal Wilson, their third-year star.Through six games, Wilson has 41 receptions for 399 yards and three touchdowns. All of those totals are among the top 12 in the NFL. Last week againsthe had his best game of the season, as he caught eight passes on 10 targets with 107 yards and a touchdown.
Per ESPN, those teams may have been banking on the future, one in which the Jets have to try and pay both Adams and Wilson at a level commensurate to their talent. New York can trigger Wilson’s fifth-year option next spring, which seems almost certain. Adams, if his deal is not re-done in the offseason, will make $35 million in base salary each of the next two seasons.
New York figures to work hard to ensure it can keep both receivers, even though it will strain their salary cap.Aside from Williams likely losing game reps to Adams, he slipped while trying to catch a pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers against Buffalo on Monday, which led to an interception that ended the game.
Afterward, Rodgers put the blame on Williams, saying the veteran receiver was supposed to run a “red line” route, which meant that the 30-year-old receiver was several yards away from where Rodgers said he was supposed to be.ESPN reported that a deal with the Steelers wouldn’t happen before Sunday because the two teams are playing each other. But a deal afterward cannot be ruled out as Pittsburgh is in need of another receiver and they were in on Adams before he was traded to the Jets.
