Zach Wilson era Over In New York

[theriver55]

The New York Jets are trading former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The Jets will receive a sixth-round selection (No. 203) in this week's NFL draft from the Broncos, who along with Wilson will receive a seventh-round pick (No. 256). The Jets will pay an undisclosed portion of Wilson's $5.5 million salary in 2024, the source said.

NFL Network first reported the news.

Not a surprising Development. Probably should have happened before 2023 season imo.

swapping 6-7th rounds picks and Jets have to eat 5.5 million.

Yeah horrible decision to draft Wilson with 2nd overall pick in the draft. add the Darnold Pick and you have issues. Just think if the NYJ don't beat the Rams a couple of years ago late in the season they draft Lawrence. Is what it is.

NYJ absorb a portion of Wilson's 5.5 million not all of it Sam.

ahhh portion, not all of it. Still sucks. In the grand scheme, they got out cheap compared to having to sign him to a ridiculous contract

From Russel to Zach Wilson.

Now, if Wilson takes the Broncos to the playoffs and the Jets don't make the playoffs, the Broncos win.

Sean Payton has lost his mind. No playoffs for Denver again

I agree with this one. Give them a chance.

Yeah Wager sometimes a change of scenery and coaching staffs can revive a career. I doubt it in this case but wish Zach the Best.

Broncos haven’t made the playoffs in nearly a decade. I don’t think next year will be different. Another 3rd or 4th place finish in the division.

Been a Jets fan for 45 years. They’ve rarely done anything right over that span. Ron Faurot, Roger Vick, Johnny Mitchell, Kyle Brady, etc etc.
