As per the updates, Jets punter Thomas Morstead posted a picture on X, it shows Morstead handing over the handing over the No. 5 jersey to Wilson on Monday.
Following the event, it has been officially announced Wilson will be hanging his current No. 17. In favor of his is old college number at Ohio State, No. 5.
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams “liked” the post, and the reaction seems to imply in another direction. With the increasing social media rumors of Adams landing on the Jets, fans are connecting the dots.
Adams has been reported to prefer the No.17 jersey since his college days back at Fresno State and with the No. 17 hanging the social media posts are circulating.

One post reflected the words “So Davante Adams is basically already a Jet … Right??” while another said, “The Jets’ offense with Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, and Breece Hall is going to be a PROBLEM.”
NYJ Matt also posted, “Wilson back to #5, Davante Adams to #17, Thomas Morstead to #0. This is how you build a championship organization.”
With Wilson’s number 17 jersey available, potentially Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Adams who wears 17 possibly might be the next Jets number 17.
Moreover, since the NFL Trade Deadline during the regular season, Adams has been on the trade option, and in the option, the hopes are held high.
The possible combination of Garrett Wilson and Adams would be the best wide receiver duo and might become the best h in Jets history as well as in the NFL currently.
