"At that same time, we're obviously open to trading Zach. There have been discussions. Nothing's really changed since we talked in Florida.

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has not reported to voluntary workouts this offseason, according to general manager Joe Douglas. The team has reportedly been trying to trade the former No. 2 overall pick, but trade talks have been at a standstill. With Tyrod Taylor backing up Aaron Rodgers this season, the Wilson project is likely over in New York.

There's a chance that quarterback Zach Wilson could end up staying with the New York Jets in 2024. "If we don't trade him, we're going to keep him," owner Woody Johnson said. The Jets gave Wilson and his representatives permission to seek a trade last month, but with the rest of the league already making moves to acquire other QBs ahead of next month's NFL draft, the demand for Wilson has been non-existent this offseason.

He's also had off-the-field incidents that don't portray him favorably as a ...

The New York Jets have given quarterback Zach Wilson's agent permission to seek a trade, according to general manager Joe Douglas.

The New York Jets are not expected to keep quarterback Zach Wilson around as the backup to Aaron Rodgers in 2024. "[We] need a backup quarterback," owner Woody Johnson said. "We didn't have one last year." One veteran QB told ESPN that it will be difficult for the Jets to convince a top-tier backup to play for the Jets, knowing there's no chance to supplant a healthy Rodgers. The Jets won four games in Wilson's 11 starts in 2023 en route to a 7-10 record. Among the Jets' options this offseason ...

Some rookies take time to adjust to the speed of the NFL game. Season one can be a bumpy ride. Season two (hopefully) shows further development.
