AFC Notes: Malik Willis, A.J. Brown, Jets Trade Buzz
The Dolphins’ Malik Willis is urging the team to build on its first win rather than celebrate a 1-5 start. In New York, the Jets are holding firm against trade interest in Will McDonald IV and have no intention of moving Garrett Wilson. Patriots receiver A.J. Brown, back from an ankle injury, says he’s still working to regain his explosiveness but is focused on competing.
By the Numbers- Miami is 1-5 after ending a five-game losing streak.
- Brown has played in two games since returning from injured reserve.
- Brown is in his eighth NFL season.
Miami’s win offers a boost, but Willis emphasized that the team still has plenty to improve. Brown is back on the field, though he says his explosiveness hasn’t fully returned.
State of Play- The Jets have received significant trade interest in McDonald but are not looking to move him.
- Trade speculation about Wilson is not coming from the team; New York considers him unavailable.
- The Jets appear set to keep their coaching staff in place through the rest of the season.
One win won’t change Miami’s broader challenge, while the Jets are signaling they intend to hold on to key players and stay the course. In New England, Brown’s return adds a weapon, but his impact may depend on how quickly he regains full form.
