Garrett Wilson is clearly tired of losing.
The New York Jets star receiver is having the best season of his young career from a statistical standpoint, but from a team perspective, this year is easily the biggest disappointment he’s been a part of.
Wilson is eligible for a contract extension after the season, but Wilson said he’s not sure he wants to stay with the Jets long-term.

“I don’t know, man. I just do whatever, go about my day, though, I’m on my feet,” Wilson told reporters Thursday. “If they do [offer an extension] …that would be fantastic.
Wilson added that “I love[s] the Jets… but I can’t worry about all that. I’m going to finish these three games. “I can’t be watching all that right now.”
Wilson spoke to reporters just hours after a report that owner Woody Johnson rejected a trade for Jerry Jeudy due to Jeudy’s rating in the Madden video game. It was previously reported that Johnson also wanted Aaron Rodgers benched after the team fell to 2-2, and former general Joe Douglas allegedly said his boss was acting like a “teenager.”

TITANS HEAD COACH MAKES EXPLICIT THING WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE TEAM BEING SOFT: ‘TOTAL BULLS—‘
Wilson is on pace to set personal bests across the board. He has accumulated more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, a number he will likely surpass this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Jets are 4-10, but things have gone from bad to worse since Robert Saleh was fired. The Jets were 2-3 when Johnson fired the head coach, and are 2-7 since.

The positive is that Aaron Rodgers has turned back the clock recently. He has thrown 13 touchdowns and just one interception in his last seven games. Maybe Rodgers and Wilson can take advantage of that in 2025, if Rodgers stays.
