Aaron Rodgers makes feelings known on Garrett Wilson's frustration amid Jets WR's trade rumors

Garrett Wilson is an angry man right now. He has not been as heavily involved in the New York Jets' offense as he was in the past, while speculation has emerged that he wants out of the team. And quarterback Aaron Rodgers knows and understands such anger.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, the multiple-time MVP said that he had had some conversations with his young wideout about the lack of targets:

"I've talked to him throughout the season about some of it, yeah. Not this week. Not in the last couple of weeks, but it's not the first time. So, there's been conversations about it.

"Receivers want the ball. I understand that."

Wilson, who is 13 yards shy of hitting 1,000 yards for the third straight time in his career, will be a free agent after next season unless the Jets choose to invoke his fifth-year option.

Regarding his future. he had said:

"If they (extend my contract), that would be a blessing. It would be awesome. I love the Jets. At the end of the day, they were the ones that believed in me. But, yeah, I can't be worrying about that. I have to go out and finish these three games the right way."

Garrett Wilson's comments about wanting more involvement in Jets offense explained

The issue stems from the very lowly numbers Garrett Wilson put up on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams: within the first 55 minutes of the game, he was targeted just three times. He eventually finished with six receptions for 54 yards. For comparison, Davante Adams had seven for 68 and a touchdown.

After the game, the former Offensive Rookie of the Year said:

"I'd like to be involved, love to make an impact on the game, but people see it differently. That's out of my control.

"I feel like I ran good routes this game. I feel like I had an opportunity to help the team, but sometimes it just doesn't fall like that. Anytime we don't win, and I'm not that involved, it's tough ... I think I can help us. They know that."

Wilson closed out by praising former offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, who had coached him when he was a rookie, calling their time together "special."
