Jets' Garrett Wilson dismisses heated exchange with Geno Smith: 'We were collaborating'

Garrett Wilson has seen enough.

The New York Jets receiver has seen the franchise win just 24 games since being drafted in 2022, with a record that has only gotten progressively worse since that time. Wilson has at times been animated about his lack of involvement in the Jets' passing attack, especially given poor quarterback play over the years.

Those tensions began to boil over in Week 7 with Wilson taking aim at Geno Smith. Take a look:

Wilson was asked about the exchange after the game and dismissed the idea that it was a big issue.

"We were collaborating," Wilson said. "I don't even think I was talking to Geno. I think we were both heated, but not at each other at all."

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters after the game that he didn't see the incident, but continued to express a desire to get Wilson the ball.

"We have to do everything we can to try to get the ball," Glenn said. "I'm going to put that on myself, of him not getting the targets that he need, because, trust me, that's in the game plan to get him the ball."

Glenn denied putting any of the blame on Smith or offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

The incident occurred with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after New York settled for a field goal. Smith had just taken a sack for a 12-yard loss after the team was set up at the goal line for a potential game-tying score.

It came just days after Reich expressed a desire to get Wilson involved "as early and as often as we can."

Wilson was targeted just three times in the 28-25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins, catching two passes for 26 yards.
