Zach Wilson Traded to Denver Broncos
Jets Obtain Future Draft Pick
Third-Year Quarterback Seeks Fresh Start
NEW YORK -- The New York Jets have traded quarterback Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos, according to a source familiar with the deal. The Jets are reportedly receiving a 2024 draft pick in return.
Wilson, 23, was the Jets' starting quarterback for the past two seasons. However, he has been benched three times during his tenure in New York and has struggled to live up to expectations as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
In Denver, Wilson will have a chance to compete for the starting job with veteran Russell Wilson. The Broncos have high hopes for the future with Wilson under center, as they look to rebound from a disappointing 2022 season.
The Jets, meanwhile, will now turn their attention to finding a new quarterback. They could potentially draft a quarterback in the upcoming draft or sign a veteran free agent.
Zach Wilson's time in New York came to an end after three tumultuous seasons. Despite showing flashes of potential, he was unable to consistently perform at a high level. The Jets hope that the trade will benefit both parties, as Wilson seeks a fresh start in Denver and the Jets look to rebuild their offense.
