The Jets have finally parted ways with quarterback Zach Wilson, trading him to the Broncos on Monday. The move brings an end to one of the most disappointing careers in Jets history.
The Jets selected Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, hoping he would become the franchise quarterback they have been searching for. However, Wilson struggled on the field and was unpopular with teammates off the field. He showed only occasional flashes of ability during his three seasons with the Jets.
The Jets will receive a sixth-round pick in the trade, while the Broncos will also receive a seventh-round pick.
