Garrett Wilson admits this season has been tough for him.
He’s watched the men who drafted him get fired – first coach Robert Saleh and then general manager Joe Douglas last week. Early in the season, he struggled to find chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett did not seem to know how to use him.
But more than anything, the scoreboard has been what has bothered Wilson more than anything. The Jets are 3-8, another lost season. The Jets are 17-28 in Wilson’s first three seasons in the NFL.
Wilson is eligible for a contract extension for the first time this offseason after having played for three years. One of the biggest decisions facing the new general manager will be whether to hand Wilson a monster contract or put that decision off for another year. If the Jets exercise Wilson’s fifth-year option (and why wouldn’t they?), he won’t hit free agency until 2027.
