Garrett Wilson reveals he hasn’t talked to Aaron Rodgers since his Jets departure

Garrett Wilson has not stayed in contact with his old teammate who is hovering so much around the Jets season opener. 

Wilson caught 98 of his 101 receptions last year from Aaron Rodgers, who will start at quarterback for the Steelers and return to MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

But even off the field, the two no longer have a connection. 

“I ain’t talked to Aaron since he left,” Wilson said after practice on Thursday. “I wish him the best this season. But we ain’t chopped it up since he left.” 

Wilson seemed to grow frustrated with Rodgers last year, particularly after he became second fiddle when the Jets traded for Davante Adams, Rodgers’ longtime teammate when the two were with the Packers.

Adams was Rodgers’ most-targeted receiver over the final 11 weeks of the season. Wilson’s targets and production both decreased after the move, and he made some not-so-subtle public remarks about it.
