Garrett Wilson's frustrations might be starting to hit a boiling point

The New York Jets are struggling offensively right now, and it's not exactly difficult to see why. They consistently fail to sustain drives, and for whatever reason, once they get into their opponents' territory, they immediately become the worst unit in the entire league.

Something that could maybe help lighten the burden of their futile offense? Getting their biggest superstar more consistently involved, Garrett Wilson. For whatever reason, they struggle to get him the ball from week to week, and it may be starting to get on his nerves.

The New York Post's Brian Costello shared on his podcast, The Gang's All Here, that Wilson was not pleased following the Jets' Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots, and it may have something to do with only hauling in four catches during the agonizing defeat. It may have something to do with the fact that he only had two targets before the fourth quarter

"I was in the tunnel as Garrett came off the field yesterday. He was not happy, and I'm not going to quote him, but he was not happy. He was talking to his teammates, and he wasn't happy about the way that game went for him."

New York Jets need to figure out how to keep Garrett Wilson involved

Costello didn't stop there and continued to share that the measured Wilson, who spoke with reporters after that game in the locker room, needed to be talked down by the Jets' public relations people.

"He's a good teammate, but he's frustrated as hell right now. And you can't blame him. And I think Garrett's frustration comes from a place of, he believes he can help the team win the game, but he needs the ball in his hands to do it. And they're just not figuring out ways to get him the ball."

It's not hard to see why Wilson is so frustrated. Yes, detractors will be quick to point to the fact that the former first-round draft pick is tied for the 15th-most targets in the league at 48, with the Christian Watson and Tetairoa McMillan, but it's more about the quality of those targets.

How is it possible that, in a game where your offense is so obviously struggling, you manage to target your best offensive weapon twice in the first three quarters?

Yes, New England made it a point to take him out of the game, and he was being shadowed by one of the best cornerbacks in the league, in Christian Gonzalez, but the best teams in the league find a way to get the ball in their best players' hands.

Get him going with a screen pass, target him early in the quick passing game, whatever it is, Wilson wants to win, and he knows the best way for the Jets to do that is with him in the mix of the offense.

New York is teetering on the edge of losing their best player's interest, and it will only make the nauseating trade takes from analysts around the league grow.
