New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson
The New York Jets were in dire need of a quarterback, believing they had secured their solution with Zach Wilson’s drafting. However, as of now, the once highly regarded No. 2 pick holds little trade value.
According to ESPN insider Rich Cimini, teams are reluctant to engage due to Wilson’s hefty fully-guaranteed $5.5 million salary and his inconsistent performance record, as noted by Dov Kleiman. Cimini suggests Wilson might prefer a release to seek new opportunities without financial constraints, questioning how long the Jets will persist in seeking a trade.

Despite occasional flashes of promise and his collegiate success at BYU, Wilson has yet to demonstrate the consistent performance or development expected of a second overall pick. Consequently, the Jets have moved on, signing Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers’ backup.
Unless faced with a series of injuries, it seems improbable that Wilson will receive another chance to showcase his talent in the league.
