Jets predicted to trade Garrett Wilson for younger talent in stunning NFL blockbuster deal | Sporting News

Garrett Wilson is due a contract extension of near-record-setting proportions for the New York Jets.

What if they decided to trade him rather than pay him? It seems incredibly unlikely, but Bleacher Report suggested it as a possibility.

B/R analyzed that the Jets could trade Wilson to the Carolina Panthers for a 2026 first-round pick.

That'd be a quirky kind of deal for both teams.

The Jets would give away Justin Fields' top target for an asset that doesn't help them for at least a year.

Wilson has topped 1,000 yards in each of his first three NFL seasons.

He's a bonafide star.

If the Jets are wise, they'll keep him, but you never know when huge contract extensions start coming into the picture.
