Jets' Injuries Fuel Trade-Deadline Speculation

With the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4 approaching, outlets have floated deadline moves for many teams — Sporting News suggested Michael Wilson to the Browns and Kirk Cousins to the Jets, while ESPN reported Miami might be roughly 10% willing to trade Jaylen Waddle. The New York Jets' 0–7 start and significant injuries — corner Sauce Gardner and WR Garrett Wilson likely to miss Week 8, RB Breece Hall and QBs Justin Fields/Tyrod Taylor limited — have intensified trade-deadline speculation, with Jermaine Johnson II and Hall repeatedly mentioned as potential assets. Johnson has publicly pushed back on trade chatter, posting “I’m not leavin’,” saying he received “clarity” from the front office and reaffirming he wants to stay; he is under contract through 2026 with his fifth‑year option exercised, though the Jets may still explore moves as they balance rebuilding and roster needs. Around the league, Cincinnati is expected to retain Trey Hendrickson but may move Logan Wilson and Cam Taylor‑Britt, teams continue to weigh injury reports (Giants’ Brian Burns and Eagles’ A.J. Brown among those limited), New England is reportedly prioritizing defensive upgrades, and Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown resumed limited practice targeting a Nov. 17 return.
