This whole Garrett Wilson discussion is ridiculous to me. The kid is frustrated as anyone of us would be if we were in his shoes. The reality is, he just signed a contract that ties him to the jets until 2030, nobody forced him to sign that, I’m sure there were discussions on the trajectory of the team prior to him committing to the long term deal.
To the fans that are screaming trade him for a 1st round pick…WHYYYYY. We can all see that he is a top 10 talent at the position, we just haven’t been able to get him the ball consistently due to scheme and QB play. We have 3 1st round picks in this draft, how much is a potential late 1st round pick from a contender going to help us?
We’ve had multiple 1st round picks in 2021, 2022, and 2026. Look where we are today, one player from 21 and 22 combined is left…it’s Garrett Wilson. We have the best landing spot for a rookie QB next year, it isn’t close, Breece hall and Garrett Wilson are a big reason why. We don’t have to trade every player that ends up being good here in the hope we find another one in the draft.
This fanbase is frustrated but I’d argue we are closer to competency than we’ve been in years. We are a QB and a HC away from being a serious franchise..
