Garrett Wilson trade buzz dominates New York — AFC East roundup

There were no AFC East games on the schedule yesterday, but the division still produced plenty of storylines — most of them swirling around the Jets and star wideout Garrett Wilson as the trade deadline approaches.

New York Jets: Wilson in the rumor mill, deadline questions

CBS Sports names Garrett Wilson among the receivers who could draw interest around the league, identifying the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers as two potential destinations if the Jets were to entertain offers. The outlet notes that Kansas City is seeking another weapon for Patrick Mahomes.

On the broader deadline front, Pro Football Rumors points out that the Jets’ Week 7 loss to the Dolphins, which dropped them to 2-5, has other teams curious about New York’s plans. After what the site describes as two massive sell-off trades last year involving players like Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, rival clubs are again checking in. Edge rusher Will McDonald is mentioned as a name that continues to come up in those conversations.

CBS Sports also reports that Wilson addressed a heated sideline moment, saying his frustration stemmed from New York’s red-zone play calls. According to the outlet, he indicated that his anger was not directed at quarterback Geno Smith.

Buffalo Bills: linked to Maxx Crosby scenario

The Bills (5-1) were idle yesterday, but they surfaced in national speculation. CBS Sports lists Buffalo as one of four potential landing spots for Maxx Crosby if the Raiders, sitting at 3-4, pivot to selling before the Nov. 10 deadline. The piece frames teams like the Bills and Bears as contenders that could pursue the star pass rusher to bolster a playoff push.

New England Patriots: roster and special-teams moves

At 4-3, the Patriots focused on depth. Pro Football Rumors reports that New England signed linebacker Jose Ramirez to the practice squad and released offensive lineman Jacob Rizy to make room.

In the kicking game, Pro Football Rumors adds that punter Bryce Baringer is being waived. He handled punting duties for his first three NFL seasons in New England, but after a preseason injury that led to an injured-reserve stint, this move brings his time with the Patriots to an end.

Miami Dolphins: quiet day, lingering impact

It was a quiet news day in Miami, with the Dolphins (1-5) absent from the rumor mill. Their Week 7 victory over the Jets still resonates, though: Pro Football Rumors notes that result left the Chargers as the NFL’s only winless team, a reminder that Miami continues to shape the wider league picture despite its record.
