Garrett Wilson has been navigating a challenging 2024 NFL season alongside his teammates with the New York Jets. Speculations suggest that this campaign may be Wilson's final one in New York, primarily due to increasing frustrations with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport recently provided insights into the discord between Wilson and the veteran signal-caller, indicating that sources close to Wilson believe he is dissatisfied with the limited opportunities from Rodgers. The possibility of a trade could emerge as a viable option if Rodgers chooses to continue his career in 2025.

While Rodgers has remained non-committal regarding his future in recent weeks, he previously mentioned that staying with the Jets would be his 'first option' should he decide to extend his playing career. Fellow analyst Trey Wingo described the notion of the Jets retaining a soon-to-be 42-year-old Rodgers, especially following a season marked by underperformance, as the 'most New York Jets thing ever.' With Wilson still under contract for one more year as a rookie, it is anticipated that the Jets would exercise his fifth-year option this offseason. However, Wilson may attempt to force a trade if dissatisfaction persists. Should the Jets opt to deal Wilson, they stand to gain significant draft capital and other assets, similar to the offers the San Francisco 49ers received for Brandon Aiyuk, who, despite being less productive, garnered considerable interest due to his youth and potential appeal.

One of the most immediate potential landing spots for Wilson could be the New England Patriots, who are on the verge of a transformative offseason. The Patriots' poor record, currently sitting at 3-13, places them in contention for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which could play a role in negotiations for Wilson. New England has been actively seeking a star receiver, previously pursuing Aiyuk before the start of the current season. Following a promising stint by rookie quarterback Drake Maye, the Patriots may look to combine Wilson's skill set with Maye's developing prowess to form a formidable offensive duo. Pairing Wilson with Maye could provide the Patriots with an exciting foundation for their offense for years to come.

The Tennessee Titans represent another potential suitor for Wilson. Under the guidance of new head coach Bryan Callahan, the Titans are striving to maximize the talents of sophomore quarterback Will Levis, but the team's lack of a competitive aerial attack has become evident, particularly following Derrick Henry's departure. Despite an attempt to enhance their receiving options by signing Calvin Ridley, the results have not met expectations, signaling a pressing need for an elite receiver like Wilson. Acquiring Wilson may require significant investment, but it could revamp the Titans' offense, allowing them to maintain competitive advantages as they build for the future.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who have secured a playoff berth, face their own challenges in the receiving department. Despite clinching their place in the postseason, the Steelers have struggled with an underwhelming passing game, evident through their ranking in passing yards. A trade for Wilson could remedy this issue, enhancing a unit that has seen injuries and inconsistencies plague their young talent, George Pickens. The Steelers have made attempts to augment their receiving corps through trades, but these efforts have not definitively addressed their shortcomings. Acquiring Wilson could offer them a reliable target and elevate their playoff competitiveness, provided their quarterback situation can be resolved.

The Washington Commanders, guided by new head coach Dan Quinn, find themselves in a promising position as they progress to the playoffs. However, issues persist with a lack of reliable receiving options besides Terry McLaurin. While McLaurin has thrived alongside rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the absence of additional offensive talent could hinder Washington's aspirations. A trade for Wilson would bolster their receiving assets, creating a dynamic combination with McLaurin. Nevertheless, the compatibility of offensive roles may be a concern for Wilson, who has expressed frustration over his target share since the arrival of Davante Adams in New York. Regardless, Washington should seriously consider exploring Wilson's availability to enhance their playoff hopes.

The Las Vegas Raiders may not be in the best position but could improve their outlook by acquiring Wilson. Currently at 4-12, the Raiders have faced significant struggles on the field, notably in the wide receiver department. Following the trade of Davante Adams, the Raiders only have Jakobi Meyers as a prominent target. To remain competitive, Las Vegas will need to secure an elite young receiver like Wilson to solidify their offensive core alongside promising rookie Brock Bowers. While acquiring Wilson may necessitate considerable draft capital, making strategic decisions regarding both Wilson and their future quarterback could pave the way for a brighter roadmap ahead.
