Story summary

Nahshon Wright, a cornerback for the New York Jets who signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract in free agency, has been inactive throughout the season due to what he describes as frustrating circumstances. Despite securing five interceptions last year with the Chicago Bears, Wright has not played a single defensive snap since joining the Jets and admits feeling frustrated about his lack of playing time. The team's decision to bench him was likely influenced by a training camp injury that allowed Azareye'h Thomas, a second-year player, to take over the starting position. With no clear explanation from coaches regarding Wright’s benching, there is speculation that the Jets might trade him before the November 10 trade deadline.
