Jets Eye Quentin Johnston Trade for Offensive Boost

0:00It's March 22nd. This is NFL News today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. The New York Jets wrapped up 2025 with a dismal three wins and 14 losses, putting head coach Aaron Glinn squarely on Mahatsi, heading into year two. Their passing game was a real weak spot, and even with some free agency signings, they still look thin at why receiver. Right now, if the season started today, Garrett Wilson would lead a trio with Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams. Wilson is solid, but last year he managed just 395 receiving yards in seven games, which isn't enough to carry the offense. Jets insider Patrick McAvoy is pushing for a trade to land Quentin Johnston from the Los Angeles Chargers. At 24 years old, the former first round pick has posted over 700 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, giving him real, upside without being a pre-mandana. Johnston could slot right in as the number two option alongside Wilson, especially with veteran Geno Smith back under center, airing it out.
