Chiefs urged to trade with Jets after potentially losing Tyreek Hill to struggling Super Bowl contender

The Kansas City Chiefs are being urged to make moves ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. The undefeated (5-0) Chiefs are among the Super Bowl favorites after starting the season in red hot fashion. Patrick Mahomes and former Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker are arguably the most formidable duo in the National Football League right now — but that doesn’t mean the Chiefs are content to rest on their laurels. In a big boost to their Super Bowl ambitions, Andy Reid ‘s team is being told to make a trade for one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league, New York Jets wideout, Garrett Wilson. Russell Wilson urges Chiefs to trade for Garrett Wilson That’s the opinion of former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson , who thinks going all in for the 26-year-old Jets man would give Mahomes a lethal weapon moving forward. “I’m just telling you, if I’m the Kansas City Chiefs , I got the All-Star running back in the backfield in Kenneth Walker, which we’ve never had before,” Wilson said during a sit-down with Kyle Long on NFL on CBS “And guess what that does? That play action opens up, right? What Mahomes does arguably better than anybody in the world is throw the ball down the field. “So, if I’m thinking about this, who would I go get? I’m gonna go get Garrett Wilson,” he went on. “If the Jets keep losing, I’m gonna go get Garrett Wilson from the New York Football Jets because I believe that Garrett Wilson, down the field, with his ability- he’s a smart guy; he learns quickly- he’d be great in the Andy Reid style of offense… [The Chiefs] haven’t had a receiver like him.” The Jets’ struggles have continued this season. They currently sit third in the AFC East with a 2-4 record after a 19-26 Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots. Wilson, who signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension in the 2025 offseason, has recorded 35 receptions for 418 yards and three touchdowns in six games in 2026. He’s long intimated his desire to stay with Gang Green, but the Jets have a recent history of moving on from star players — see Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams — so it’s not out of the question they would do the same with Wilson. The Wilson-Chiefs links come amid widespread speculation that the Chiefs could go in another direction and boost their receiving corps with a Tyreek Hill reunion. Hill won a Super Bowl alongside Travis Kelce and Mahomes, but was traded to the Miami Dolphins where he flourished for some time. ‘Cheetah’ had back-to-back seasons with over 1,700 receiving yards before signing a lucrative, restructured deal in 2024 — but things quickly went downhill. In 2024, Hill was clearly frustrated with missing the playoffs, and he went down with a season-ending injury after four weeks of action in 2025. The Dolphins had enough, and released Hill earlier this year, citing a ‘failed physical’. Tyreek Hill to Rams make sense after Davante Adams setback Hill is still a free agent as he continues his rehabilitation and recovery, and while a Chiefs reunion is still on the table, another move has been mooted. Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay suggests the 2-3 Los Angeles Rams could be better suited to Hill, with ‘problem’ Sean McVay ‘s team having just lost Davante Adams for the next 6-10 weeks to a ruptured hamstring. “With Adams expected to miss six to 10 weeks while he recovers from a ruptured hamstring, the Rams need to offset the loss of their star wideout with a pickup on the open market,” Kay wrote. “No free agent can move the needle more than Tyreek Hill.” “Hill’s résumé makes him an intriguing potential replacement, although his recovery and lengthy absence create uncertainty about how quickly he could contribute,” Kay wrote. “If healthy, his speed, route-running and elusiveness could help Los Angeles replace some of Adams’ production.”
