Privately, there have been questions about whether Rodgers and Wilson can find common ground since there was a blowup during training camp.

Although Wilson won’t say it publicly, those who know him well believe he was frustrated by the lack of looks from Rodgers and wondered what else he could do to improve the relationship.

Isn’t it enough to open up? Anyone who studies the film will notice that it is open while the ball goes somewhere else.

Meanwhile, Wilson is eligible for a contract extension after he finishes this season, his third since being drafted in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. This is a time when organizations are making long-term decisions about their young stars. The goal is always to lock up homegrown players, and in most situations that would be obvious here. Wilson is one of the organization’s most productive young receivers with 268 yards, 3,132 catches and 13 touchdowns in his career.

But New York also received calls from teams interested in trading for Wilson after acquiring Davante Adams in October, and while they weren’t interested at the time, a new GM could see him as a trade partner to help them do that , to get a new QB in the draft.

Wilson hasn’t requested a trade, but if Rodgers is back, that’s one of the options moving forward.

NFL.com reported earlier this month that Rodgers was considered a “hopeful” to return to New York next season, but Rodgers’ play has improved over time, potentially complicating plans. The veteran quarterback, who remains unclear about his future, recently told reporters that he intends to spend time after the season ends to decide whether he wants to continue playing.

Jets owner Woody Johnson is said to be a big fan of Wilson, and it’s hard to imagine a trade happening. But at the right price, anyone can be available in this league.
