The Jets’ decision to part ways with Wilson is a clear admission of failure, as the former No. 2 overall pick failed to live up to expectations. In his two seasons with the Jets, Wilson threw for just 4,024 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions while completing only 55.6% of his passes. His erratic play and inability to protect the football ultimately led to his downfall.
With Wilson now gone, the Jets will turn their attention to finding a long-term solution at quarterback. They could opt to draft a quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft or explore the free agent market. Regardless of their approach, the Jets will be under immense pressure to find a franchise-caliber quarterback who can lead them back to the playoffs.
The trade of Wilson marks a new chapter for the Jets, who have been stuck in a cycle of mediocrity for far too long. With a young and talented roster, the Jets have the potential to be a competitive team once again. However, they will need to find a capable quarterback to lead the way if they want to achieve their ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl.
