Regardless of what compensation we could get back in a trade for Wilson, it's time to go with the vet option, whether that's White or not. Yup. I have no interest in developing yet another 1st round pick at QB in this window with this team.....If JD decides the 2023 QB1 isn't on this roster he should go with the FA/Trade route.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 He may be a persnickety twerp but he’s very well represented and his advisors must recognize that publicly demanding a trade is only going to solidify his me-before-the-team bona fides. It is actually in his self-interest to at least pretend to be the good soldier. I’d expect instead for his camp to leverage Steve Young to push the narrative in the media that Jets should trade him if they don’t see a future. This way he keeps his hands clean. “Sometimes players and teams don’t gel. Not his fault not the Jets fault but makes no sense to keep him on the roster.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle - will resign Geno who is way better Tennessea - Tannehill is better and Malik still a rookie Rams - already have Stafford and probably delusional enough to think they can salvage baker ATL - have Ridder Raiders - McDaniels will probably draft his own qb this offseason after signing Brisset Carolina - will probably draft Caleb Williams or someone else. Sam starts in the meantime it’s been said before but I’ll say it again. Sam was significantly better his first couple years with a way worse roster that’s why we got a second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Zach needs to show enough in 2023 to have his option exercised. Maybe. Just like Becton his year. that will be a good one. If the Jets sign a big name FA I can see there being pressure to trade Zach. If I am JD I am riding the two years left on Zach's contract and signing MW for two years, draft someone, and effectively platoon White and Wilson. QB in 2025 is either a franchised White or Wilson, or the draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right but he has the “bad teammate” stink on him now. Will depress value. 4th rounder that can jump to 3rd based on playing time. But JD is also pretty good at this.

BornJetsFan1983 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 On 12/10/2022 at 10:48 AM, TommyT said: Zach has very little value. Jets need to deny his request. 49ers may have interest as a backup. false no one has interest in zach. in what world does any team want a qb that has zero change to win a game>?

Larz Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Steve young said that the last thing Zach can do is to play the victim and he’s right and he’s very close to Zach. to answer the question, if Zach doesn’t play again this year his value is very low, maybe a fifth. if I’m reading over the cap correctly, nothing will be done before June 1, he’s definitely not getting cut. too much dead money. A post June 1 trade the dead money is 5.7 mill and a cap savings of 2.2 mill the finances point to Zach being a jet next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2k8 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I have no response other than to share that these made up lyrics to "If I Were a Carpenter" are now stuck in my head: If Zach was a starting QB, and you were his lady, would you marry him? Would you have his baby? These might be less absurd questions than the one posed by the OP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsplayer21 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 He would need to cut his $ by a lot. Too much for a guy who likely would end up as 3rd string on most teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s either trade him, cut him, or let his deal expire after 4 years. No financial creativity is allowed with the rookie deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the talking heads on tv who were going gaga over Zach Wilson two years ago have abandoned ship. The word is out. 4 touchdown passes in 7 starts is abysmal— literally an old disabled person in a wheelchair could match that productivity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
