NFL insiders quickly dismiss reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade for New York Jets wideout Garrett Wilson. While Jason La Canfora floated Wilson as a game‑changing addition to a 6‑2 Steelers offense, ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the deal “won’t happen,” citing a strained past between Wilson and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers, battling WR depth issues and injuries to DK Metcalf, are also linked to Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts’ Josh Downs, but Wilson’s reunion with Rodgers looks unlikely.
The New York Jets are getting the solid quarterback play they have long waited for. Geno Smith is on pace to break multiple franchise single-season records.

The Las Vegas Raiders regained some favor in the post-Week 8 NFL power rankings after defeating the New York Jets on the road.
ESPN insider Adam Schefter says the Pittsburgh Steelers will not trade for Jets receiver Garrett Wilson before the Nov. 10 deadline. Schefter told his podcast that “no way they trade him,” dismissing rumors sparked by Jason La Canfora that linked Wilson to Aaron Rodgers. Wilson, a 2025 four‑year, $130 million extension player, has no trade request, and his relationship with Rodgers soured. While the Steelers sit 6‑2 and eye other receivers, Wilson remains firmly with New York, ending speculation for Steelers fans.
Seven former Iowa State Cyclones saw action in Week 8, logging 249 combined snaps across offense, defense and special teams. Notables include Breece Hall (Jets) sidelined by a quad injury, Charlie Kolar (Chargers) with one 20‑yard catch in a 24‑9 loss, and Will McDonald IV (Jets) posting 36 defensive and 11 special‑teams snaps in a 38‑33 defeat to the Raiders. Houston’s trio—Xavier Hutchinson, David Montgomery and Jaylin Noel—were mostly unavailable due to a bye week or injuries, while Kene Nwangwu (Jets) and Domonique Orange (Vikings) contributed on special teams and defense respectively. The week also featured former Cyclone TJ Tampa (Ravens) returning with three tackles and a fumble recovery.
The Las Vegas Raiders snapped a four‑game skid with a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 9, boosting them to #17 in the latest NFL Power Rankings. Rookie Mike Washington Jr. emerged as the lead back, rushing 25 times for 83 yards, while Ashton Jeanty shifted to a third‑down, pass‑catching role after a controversial comment about the Jets. Jeanty still leads all running backs with 37 receptions for 376 yards and three TDs, but his carries dropped to two for nine yards. Analysts note Washington’s higher rush‑over‑expected metric (+0.4) and Jeanty’s elite EPA per target as key factors shaping the Raiders’ offense going forward.
The New York Jets have stressed publicly and privately that they are not shopping Breece Hall, and they likely won't until Jonathan Taylor gets traded.

He cites potential targets like Brian Thomas Jr., Jauan Jennings, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Kayshon Boutte, and Hollywood Brown, with Dallas' George Pickens drawing particular buzz. On the edge, Schultz mentions Khalil Mack as a coveted pass rusher, noting interest from the Chargers and the Jets' Will McDonald IV, while Arizona’s Josh Sweat could be a pricey option.
A new report says the New York Giants may abandon a Jonathan Taylor trade because they lack sufficient draft capital, prompting head coach John Harbaugh to explore other options. While Taylor remains the most talked‑about target, the Giants are also eyeing Titans backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, Jets running back Breece Hall, and interior defensive tackles Jeffery Simmons and Dalvin Tomlinson to boost their roster for an NFC East push.
Rookie safety Treydan Stukes and cornerback Zeke Masses have become the bright spot on a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense, combining for 10 passes defensed in the first eight games—a franchise record for a rookie class since 2000. Masses logged seven breakups and Stukes three, each recording a pass defense against the New York Jets on Sunday.
