Garrett Wilson trade buzz grows, AFC East roundup

Speculation around Garrett Wilson headlined a quiet day on the field in the AFC East. CBS Sports explored a hypothetical deal that would send the New York Jets’ star wide receiver to the Kansas City Chiefs, arguing that pairing him with Patrick Mahomes could address Kansas City’s wideout concerns. At the same time, the outlet stressed that several significant hurdles make such a blockbuster unlikely.

New York Jets: Wilson’s future in the spotlight

The Jets, sitting at 2-4 in the AFC East standings, saw their top playmaker dropped into trade talk rather than actual roster moves. CBS Sports framed a potential Garrett Wilson-to-Chiefs trade as an ideal on-field fit but emphasized the obstacles that would stand in the way of any real negotiations. For now, it remains pure speculation with no concrete indication the Jets are ready to move on from their premier receiver.

Patriots: fallout from Bears loss

The New England Patriots remain 4-3 after Thursday’s 30-24 defeat to the Chicago Bears. Pro Football Rumors notes that, while Chicago came away with the win, it may have been costly: tight end Cole Kmet could be lost for the season with a knee injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, pending further testing. For New England, the loss keeps them chasing the division-leading Buffalo Bills rather than gaining ground.

Dolphins and Bills at opposite ends

At 0-5, the Miami Dolphins continue to occupy the bottom of the division, but CBS Sports’ Week 7 bold predictions envision them finally holding a lead in a game for the first time this season. That projection underlines how rough Miami’s start has been. The Buffalo Bills, on the other hand, sit comfortably atop the AFC East at 5-1 and were not part of any major headlines over the past 24 hours, remaining the standard the rest of the division is chasing.
