The 7-1 San Francisco 49ers and 6-2 Kansas City Chiefs were both active on the trade market in pursuit of wide receiver weapons.

"A trade never was a realistic possibility even though the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers were interested," team insider Rich Cimini of ESPN reported. "Wilson didn't want to leave, and the Jets didn't want to deal arguably their best player. Under contract through 2030, he's viewed as a foundational piece."
The Jets are 2-7 to begin the 2026 season — Wilson's fifth campaign since joining the team as the No. 10 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
"I want to win games and that's the one thing we've been missing here," Wilson said recently. "I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I'm hopeful."

Wilson and the Jets have a difficult matchup this weekend, facing off against Josh Allen and the 7-1 Buffalo Bills in a Week 10 clash.
Sunday's game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
