The New York Jets have reportedly agreed to trade Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, to an unnamed team. In return, the Jets will move up from the 256th pick in the draft, the second-to-last pick, to the 203rd pick, the 28th pick in the sixth round.
Wilson’s tenure with the Jets has been disappointing, as he has struggled to live up to expectations. In 23 games, he has thrown for 4,028 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He has also been sacked 55 times.
The Jets are hoping that the trade will allow them to move on from Wilson and find a new franchise quarterback. They have been linked to several quarterbacks in the upcoming draft, including Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson.
The trade is a significant development for the Jets, as it signals that they are willing to move on from Wilson after just two seasons. It also gives them more flexibility in the upcoming draft, as they now have two picks in the top 100.
