The Cleveland Browns are in dire need of wide receiver help, but could they seriously get some help from one of the most unlikely sources imaginable?
ESPN's Tony Rizzo is making his pitch for the Browns to target New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who is clearly not too happy with first-year coach Aaron Glenn.
Here's the problem, though: Wilson just signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension with the Jets, so you wouldn't think New York would be too eager to move him.
The Jets are apparently fielding offers for a handful of players, but trading Wilson before the deadline is probably not all that realistic.
Even if Wilson asks to be moved, he is under contract through 2030. He doesn't have much leverage there. What is he going to do? Threaten to sit out the next five years? Unless New York strangely decides it wants to move on, it isn't going to happen.
To play devil's advocate, though, what would the Browns need to surrender in order to pry Wilson away from the Big Apple?
Well, it would take at least one first-round draft pick, if not two given Wilson's contract status. Cleveland owns a couple of first-rounders in 2026 thanks to the trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars last April, so the Browns can afford to part with one of their two selections this year.
But would Cleveland really be willing to let go of a pair of first-round draft choices? Given all of the other needs the Browns have, it doesn't seem all that likely.

Perhaps Cleveland can put together a package that includes a young receiver (so one of Cedric Tillman, Isaiah Bond or Jamari Thrash), a first-round pick and maybe a couple of second-rounders. Would the Jets budge? Probably not, but it could represent a starting for the Browns.
Cleveland has gotten virtually nothing from its receiving corps this season. Even Jerry Jeudy — who finished with over 1,200 yards and made the Pro Bowl last year — has struggled. Tillman has been injured and Thrash has provided very little. Bond has shown flashes, but he has just 11 catches.
It definitely makes sense for the Browns to pursue receiver help between now and Nov. 4, but a Wilson trade seems almost impossible at this juncture.
