Garrett Wilson sends strong message to Jets about their fire sale

The New York Jets traded away two of their best players on Tuesday, and star wide receiver Garrett Wilson has now made his feelings on the blockbuster moves clear.

The Jets stunned the NFL ahead of the trade deadline when they sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for two first-round draft picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell. A short while later, New York traded three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for a first-round pick and a second-round pick.

Wilson was asked on Thursday for his reaction to Gardner and Williams being traded. He said he has no choice but to trust the front office, though he repeated the phrase "I hate it" several times.

"Like I said, I don't get paid to have the vision. They do, and they've got one. I gotta trust them, man, I do," Wilson said. "My emotions, that side of it, I hate it. I hate it. 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?"
