Cornerback Nahshon Wright says he hasn't formally requested a trade, but he’s frustrated with his lack of snaps for the 2‑5 Jets. The 28‑year‑old, who joined New York after a five‑interception season with the Bears, missed time due to a training‑camp injury and hasn’t found a defensive role. While the Jets rank ninth‑fewest in total yards allowed and fifth‑fewest in passing yards, Wright wants playing time now—whether in New York or elsewhere—before free agency. The Jets face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.

Amid a full‑scale Colts rebuild, wideout Josh Downs has formally requested a trade, prompting Pat McAfee to question the locker‑room atmosphere on his show. After flipping from 7‑2 AFC leaders in 2025 to a 2‑5 record in 2026, Indianapolis has already moved franchise stalwarts Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. Downs, a third‑round pick with 224 catches for 2,400+ yards and a career‑best 11.8 yards per catch, leads the team in receiving and is drawing interest from the Steelers, Chiefs and other AFC clubs before the Nov. 10 deadline. He says he’s staying focused on the upcoming Jaguars game while the Colts navigate the fire‑sale era.
The Las Vegas Raiders, after a 3-0 start, have slipped to 3-4, dropping four straight games and facing a critical matchup against the 2-5 New York Jets on Sunday. Star tight end Brock Bowers, who has tallied 34 catches for 455 yards and three touchdowns in just five appearances, remains limited by a nagging calf injury, according to a Wednesday practice report. With the AFC West standings tightening and the NFL trade deadline looming, the Raiders need Bowers healthy to regain momentum and keep postseason hopes alive.
The Kansas City Chiefs are being urged to trade for New York Jets wideout Ad na I Mitchell before the NFL deadline to fix a downfield passing slump exposed in their 3‑point loss to Seattle. With Tyquan Thornton injured and Mahomes lacking any 20‑plus‑yard throws last week, analysts cite Mitchell’s deep‑route ability as a potential solution. The trade hinges on the Jets' willingness to move him and the price Kansas City can match, but adding Mitchell could give Mahomes a true vertical threat and boost the Chiefs' postseason push.

Ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the Chicago Bears are reportedly targeting multiple defensive players. ESPN insiders note interest in former Bear Khalil Mack (Los Angeles Chargers), DE Josh Sweat (Arizona Cardinals), and Titans' DE Jermaine Johnson II, while cornerback Alontae Taylor, a former teammate of DC Dennis Allen, emerges as a top corner option. The Bears also gauge interest in Jets' former Pro Bowler Nahshon Wright and scout D‑tackles Daron Payne (Washington) and Grover Stewart (Indianapolis). Coach Ben Johnson confirms GM Ryan Poles is “turning over every stone” to improve the roster. The article lists several league-wide sellers, suggesting a busy deadline for Chicago.
New York Jets cornerback Nahshon Wright revealed that he's "definitely frustrated" with his role on the team's defense despite not officially requesting a trade yet, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.
The Raiders assess roster moves ahead of Sunday’s clash with the New York Jets, with coach Klint Kubiak hinting that second‑year receiver Jack Bech—returning from a broken forearm—could be activated, forcing a cut to the 53‑man list. Defensive end Patrick Johnson missed Wednesday practice after a stinger, while Kwity Paye is limited. Backup linemen Caleb Rogers and Jackson Powers‑Johnson have struggled, opening chances for Trey Zuhn or Bryce Cabeldue. Meanwhile, the team is actively discussing trade options before the Nov. 10 deadline.
Returning from a high‑ankle sprain, Patriots wideout A.J. Brown has struggled, catching just six of 16 targets for 75 yards over two games and dropping passes against the Jets. He admits to missed blocks that hurt Rhamondre Stevenson’s run game but says he’s “okay” physically and refuses to make excuses. Brown hopes to rebound against Miami’s ailing secondary, the league’s worst pass defense, while quarterback Drake Maye expresses confidence that Brown will find his flow soon.
Unless you’re a quarterback in a redshirt rookie year, being the second overall pick in the NFL draft carries massive day-one expectations. David Bailey is learning this firsthand.

Despite massive amounts of trade speculation over the last few weeks, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson shut down any and all rumors.
Despite circulating trade rumors, Jets wideout Garrett Wilson confirms he has not requested a trade and wants to stay in New York. In the Jets' 2-5 AFC East start, Wilson has already posted 37 catches for 444 yards and three touchdowns, eclipsing his 2025 production in the same span and eyeing a fourth 1,000‑yard season. With veteran Geno Smith still under center and rookie Cade Klubnik in development, the offense hinges on the Smith‑Wilson duo alongside Breece Hall, keeping Wilson’s future with the Jets secure for now.
The New York Jets sit at 2-5, and head coach Aaron Glenn’s 5-19 record has sparked fire‑talk, but owner Woody Johnson’s new GM Darren Mougey has assembled a deep roster with three first‑rounders in 2027, $100 million cap space, a promising 2026 draft class and solid starters like Brandon Stephens. The article argues that firing Glenn now risks derailing the quarterback development pipeline, while keeping him could waste a key hiring window. It recommends letting Glenn finish the season, retaining Mougey’s control, and hiring an offensive‑focused head coach to nurture the upcoming franchise quarterback, preserving the defensive staff that has improved under Glenn.
Despite the New York Jets' struggles this year, Garrett Wilson has no plans to ask for a trade.
The Dolphins clinched their first win of the season, 28-25 over the Jets, but now face two starters in concussion protocol ahead of Sunday’s AFC East showdown with the Patriots. Starting left guard Kadyn Proctor, who played every offensive snap, and cornerback JuJu Brents, who missed only six defensive snaps, both showed concussion symptoms earlier this week. Proctor missed Wednesday’s practice, while Brents was seen doing conditioning drills, suggesting he may be further along in recovery. Coach Jeff Hafley did not confirm when symptoms began, leaving their availability for the Patriots game uncertain.
The man the New York Jets almost hired as their defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, called out Woody Johnson for not paying up for a "real" DC.

After a 2-5 start highlighted by a home loss to the Miami Dolphins that gave Miami its first win of the 2026 season, New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn faces mounting calls for dismissal. However, NFL insiders Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler say the Jets will likely keep Glenn through the season to evaluate his two‑year record before deciding on a third year. While his clock‑management blunders and overall performance draw criticism, low preseason expectations may buy him additional leeway.
Week 8 fantasy advice from Gridiron Experts warns that the recent roller‑coaster of high scores is over and urges managers to chase upside. With Houston, New Orleans, Giants and 49ers on bye, the focus is on quarterbacks and flex spots. Jacoby Brissett (Texans vs. Cowboys) is a top‑12 superflex pick against a soft Dallas secondary, while Geno Smith (Jets vs. Raiders) is a solid streamer despite a strong Raiders pass rush. Miami’s Ollie Gordon II sees heavy red‑zone carries, offering a safe RB2 floor. Blake Corum (Rams) and Rachaad White (Washington) provide flex upside in favorable run‑heavy matchups. Expect the unexpected through Halloween week.
The Jets have apparently made a decision on firing Aaron Glenn.
The New York Jets received their first injury updates of the week on players like Breece Hall, T'Vondre Sweat, and David Bailey ahead of Week 8.
The latest AFC trade chatter spotlights several moving pieces as the deadline looms. The Chargers aren’t actively selling, but OLB Khalil Mack, WR Quentin Johnston and CB Donte Jackson could attract offers if the mood shifts. The Chiefs, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, may need a receiver boost, eyeing Colts WR Josh Downs or Browns WR Jerry Jeudy. Jets WR Garrett Wilson stays put unless a deal includes two first‑round picks and a starter, while RB Breece Hall’s contract is tradable but unlikely to move. OLB Will McDonald IV emerges as the Jets’ top trade bait, possibly for a fourth‑round pick. Meanwhile, Raiders OL Jackson Powers‑Johnson is a candidate after a Week 6 benching, and QB Kirk Cousins could fetch value if Las Vegas decides to trade.
Entering the 2026 season, the New York Jets were looking for a significant bounce-back year from linebacker Jamien Sherwood. After signing a three-year, $45 million extension, he struggled mightily in his first year on the new contract. Now, though, he is starting to come into his own. Sherwood’s recent success Early in the year, Sherwood ...
