A top AFC team has emerged as the betting favorites to land New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson in a blockbuster trade.
Earlier this week, ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported on the “Flight Deck Podcast” that people in Garrett Wilson’s circle think he’ll request a trade from the Jets in the offseason. If his fifth-year option is picked up (no reason to think it won’t), he’ll be under contract through 2026.
According to the Bovada sportsbook, the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are the new front-runners to trade for Garrett Wilson at +300:

Wilson, only 24 years old, is a former Offensive Rookie of The Year and would fit perfectly in Kansas City alongside Rashee Rice & Travis Kelce.

Wilson (84 catches for 933 yards and six touchdowns) is on the verge of finishing with over 1,000 yards for the third straight season. Unfortunately, Wilson’s efforts haven’t been enough to make the Jets a playoff team.

After back-to-back 7-10 seasons, the Jets sit at 4-10 and must win out just to match the previous two years’ win total. Obviously, that’s not what they had in mind with Aaron Rodgers leading the offense.
Garrett Wilson Would Fetch A Valuable Return
It remains to be seen if Rodgers will return to the Jets in 2025. If he’s gone, then it’s the ideal time for the New York front office to commence a rebuild, and a player like Wilson would easily get them at least a first-round pick in return.
