New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson told reporters he has no intention of requesting a trade, saying he wants to remain in New York, according to Bleacher Report.

Wilson, in his fifth season, has logged 444 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 37 catches this year. After a heated‑looking exchange with quarterback Geno Smith during a loss to the Miami Dolphins, head coach Aaron Glenn downplayed the incident, describing it as an overblown misunderstanding.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network called the surge of trade speculation "baseless" and "nuts" as the league approaches the November 10 deadline. Wilson previously described the Jets' playoff chances as "very realistic" before the season started and remains optimistic despite the team's 2‑5 record.
