    Look, I'm not going to sit here and say that Garrett Wilson shouldn't have trust in the New York Jets, but after some of his latest comments, I almost feel like he has to be messing around in some sense. 

    Throughout Wilson's relatively short time with the organization, he's been one of the better wide receivers in the NFL. We can look at the addition of Aaron Rodgers and suggest that the Jets attempted to put a competent quarterback around him, but even that didn't work. 

    "I get paid to catch passes, block, help my teammates out, make plays, you know what I'm saying?" he said, via ESPN. "[The front office gets] paid to do that. I'm going to play football and I'm excited, man. I'm excited to go at this thing and chase it. They have a vision. Like I said, I don't get paid to have a vision. They do and they got one and I have to trust them, man. I do."

    Again, I'm not going to sit here and say that Wilson should come out and say he doesn't trust the front office, because that doesn't help any situation. 

    However, I do have to question the validity of his statements. If Wilson actually feels this way, shouldn't he be able to look back at the past few years and say that things haven't exactly gone well with the current owner, Woody Johnson, continuing to run the team? 

    "My emotions, like that side of it, I hate it, I hate it, you know what I'm saying?" Wilson said. "I play football. I play with my brothers. I get to know my brothers. I hate it, but I'm paid to play football. No one cares if I hate it. Go catch the ball. You know what I'm saying? That's how I see it."

    I understand there has to be a side of the story that suggests that Wilson needs to trust his front office, ownership, and coaching staff. 

    Frankly, if he really does feel this way, it's a very good thing, but I simply can't get behind him actually feeling that way with how poorly the Jets have played throughout the past few years.
