The NFL trade deadline might be over, but new reports are revealing some major moves that almost went down, and one involves New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, both the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs made a serious run at acquiring Wilson before the deadline.
Two Powerhouses Came Calling
Imagine Wilson in a different uniform! Cimini’s report indicates that two of the league’s top teams, the 49ers and Chiefs, were actively trying to get their hands on the Jets’ star wideout. They clearly saw something special, pushing hard to bring him into their offenses.
Why the Jets Shut It Down
Despite the interest from these teams, the Jets weren’t budging. Cimini reported that the New York organization sees Wilson as a “foundational piece” for their future. That meant they had absolutely no desire to move him, keeping their star receiver firmly in place. It’s clear they are building around talent like his.
