Oct 28 (Field Level Media) – New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is frustrated with losing and his diminished role in the offense, ​but he isn’t looking for a way out.

Amid ‌growing speculation ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline, Wilson said Wednesday he has not requested a trade and wants to remain with the Jets.

“Yeah, I want to be here, man,” Wilson said. “I ‌want ​to win games and that’s the ⁠one thing we’ve been missing ⁠on here. I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I’m hopeful.”

Wilson’s frustration was evident during ​Sunday’s 28-25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins, as television cameras showed him animated on the sideline. He ⁠finished with two catches for ⁠26 yards on only three targets.

That followed a ​four-catch, 44-yard performance against New England, giving Wilson just six ​receptions over New York’s past two losses.

Wilson acknowledged his ‌frustration with limited opportunities but said losing remains his biggest concern.

“I’d be lying if I said it’s not,” Wilson said of his frustration. “But at the end of the day ⁠it comes down to … winning and losing.”

Wilson leads New York with 37 receptions for 444 yards and three touchdowns through seven games.

The ⁠Jets selected Wilson ‌10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, ⁠and he signed a four-year, $130 million extension ​in ‌July 2025 that runs through the 2030 season.

The ​26-year-old said ⁠his visible reactions should not be interpreted as a desire to leave.

“This all comes from a place in my heart of wanting to win,” Wilson said.

New York (2-5) has dropped two straight heading into Sunday’s home game against the Las Vegas ​Raiders.
