New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson hopes to remain part of “Gang Green” for the rest of his NFL career amid what he called a “few discussions” with the organization regarding his contract situation. The former first-round pick became eligible for an extension following the 2024 season, and if he has it his way, Wilson will call MetLife Stadium home for the foreseeable future.
“I’m hopeful I’m a Jet for life, and we get this thing rolling and that all of our best are ahead of us,” Wilson told reporters. “I don’t know exactly what that looks like. I’m going to go do my part to make sure it’s undeniable when the time does come and those conversations are being had. … I’ll say that.”
Wilson is set to make $1.1 million in base salary in 2025, a $6.54 million hit against the cap, with a fifth-year option in 2026. He hinted at his approach to contract negotiations saying, “There’s a way you go about business when you love what you do.”
This is a change of tune from the reports in December of 2024, that stated Wilson could request a trade if quarterback Aaron Rodgers remained at the helm. Rodgers’ two years in New York ended up being the complete opposite of what the Jets expected, the first year ending quickly with an injury and the second with a lackluster offense.
Wilson, who appeared to have some heated exchanges in training camp with the QB leading up to the 2024 season, at one point said it was an honor to play with the future Hall of Famer, but perhaps a struggling offense during the season made him change his tune.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields will now be leading the Jets offense as Wilson looks for his fourth 1,000-yard season. Wilson has lead the team in yards receiving each year; last year, his 1,104 yards on 101 receptions with seven touchdowns were all career highs.
Wilson was a participant in voluntary offseason workouts, along with every other member of the team, coach Aaron Glenn confirmed.
“I want to be part of something special,” Wilson said, via The Athletic. “I don’t think a whole bunch of individuals makes something special.”
The Jets have yet to do “something special” in the three seasons Wilson has been part of the team, continuing a 14-year streak without a playoff appearance, the longest drought in the NFL — as well as in the NBA, NHL, MLB or WNBA.
New York finished 7-10 in Wilson’s first season, landing in fourth place in the AFC East. A 7-10 record put them in third place in the division in 2023, and they earned another third place spot in the AFC East last season at 5-12, barely besting the also-struggling New England Patriots.

Former MLB player suing Reds for unsafe field conditions that led to career-ending injury
Getty Images Former MLB player Darin Ruf's saw his career end after a knee injury he suffered in Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park in 2023. Now, two years later, he's suing the Reds. Ruf ran into what the lawsuit says was an unpadded, metal tarp roller on June 2, 2023. It would be the last major-league game of his career. He returned more than three months later in Triple-A to appear in seven games before his professional career ended. Ruf's lawsuit accuses the Reds of negligence in failing to maintain safe field conditions, citing negligent and "reckless" conduct from the grounds crew to leave the tarp in such fashion. "This didn't need to happen," Ruf said in a statement (via AP). "I wish it didn't happen. Players shouldn't have to worry about hidden hazards like that on a major league field." Per Ruf's complaint, he […]
Realigned Phillies bullpen finds its footing in 5 days following José Alvarado suspension
DENVER — Now the longest-tenured man in the Phillies bullpen, Matt Strahm did not have a speech to make. There wasn’t much to utter in the wake of José Alvarado’s 80-game suspension that both weakened the bullpen and elevated it to the unit that will face the highest scrutiny as spring becomes summer.AdvertisementThere is so much baseball left; all anyone can be certain of is that the Phillies’ bullpen mix will likely not be the same come July or October. But this is who they have right now. It has to work.“That’s kind of always been the mindset of this bullpen since I’ve been in it,” Strahm said. “You look back to the ’23 bullpen. I mean, we had seven closers down there. So a lot of the conversation was: Quit worrying about when you’re throwing, or how you’re throwing. […]
Scott Foster gets bloody nose after Lu Dort accidentally hits veteran NBA referee in Thunder-Wolves Game 2
Getty Images Game 1 of the Western Conference finals matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves was plenty physical, as would be expected between two of the NBA's most rugged, talented teams deep into the postseason. And early in Game 2, a referee got caught in the fray, too. Veteran referee Scott Foster got kicked by Julius Randle and hit in the face by Luguentz Dort -- both accidental -- as the two competed for a jump ball. Foster received some medical attention as the game took an unexpected pause just 93 seconds in. He returned without missing any game time, but the game was delayed for a few minutes. Foster, 58, has been an NBA referee since 1994-95 and, in turn, has become one of the sport's most recognized officials. Thursday's game in Oklahoma City marked his 261st […]
