Jets Zach Wilson evaluating trade options, unlikely to be cut. Return to Jets?

[Matt39]

I’m not sure why Wilson is getting permission to seek his own trade destination, but it’s starting to feel like his return for year 4 is inevitable, especially if he’s allowed to pick his spot. If the Jets don’t have control here, then the likeliest landing spot is either the 2 or the 3 QB in New York.

[Fantasy Island]

Number one overall pick next year it is with a new HC and GM.  There is a silver lining to this.

Had to use this to find it, though.

Another tweet that says absolutely nothing other than to drive the obsession in some.

So you’re saying it’s time for “free Zach Wilson” tee shirts?

Based on Woody’s comments, I think they’ll take QB2 seriously this year, but it’s no worse than 50/50 Wilson is back as QB3.

For you who doesn’t believe in facts.  There isn’t one fact in that tweet, nothing.  Doesn’t know if Zach has permission to find a trade.  Or if he’ll get permission.  Has no idea what they could get in return.  Or will Zach return.  Could they get Howell.  They literally said nothing, not they said a lot.

I’ve already outgrown mine.

Zero chance Wilson is back next year. The one guy who’d have any interest in making that happen has already very publicly cast him out. Not sure what the rationale behind a “Zach returns” scenario would be from any angle.

I do not have any notarized  information to share, but it still seemed worthy. I’m sorry it bothers you.

[Jetpain]

This is code for no one wants him and Zack has to try to blow smoke up a teams ass to hopefully give him a try,  Blame the Jets and the coaching are his sales pitch

Would it surprise you that woody casted him out for that very reason?

Woody cast him out so he could force him to be back, though? Or to save $5.5 mil? They’re going to eat more than that to dump Uzomah.

I think Woody wants him on the roster. And this getting to pick his landing spot thing is a favor, obviously.

I think if Woody wanted him on the roster, his quote at the Super Bowl would have been more of a meandering “It wasn’t all Zach’s fault, blah blah blah.” But he explicitly said that the 2023 Jets didn’t have a backup QB. Agreed that Woody wanted him on the roster when it was going to cost him $20+ mil. I don’t think he’ll want him if it’s going to cost him and extra $5.5 plus whatever they’re going to have to give Brissett.

Why would Zach want to return as a 3rd string QB?  Without a possible return date to even #2 QB?  Why wouldn’t he want a fresh start on another team as a 2?  

[AL047]

Wilson is not worth a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick maybe a 4th maybe but his worth is going down. If the Jets can't trade him, they have two options either release him (someone will eventually pick him up) or keep him as the 3rd string backup. 

It is sad that it has come to this, two QBs in a row that were drafted in the top 5 in the draft become utter failure. Something is very wrong here? How can two QBs in the first round be failures?!! With Darnold which everyone on here were crazy about failed miserably because he made too many mistakes throwing the ball and not staying healthy all season. Wilson was the same throwing making mistakes and of course he had no offensive line to protect him or another WR to take some of the pressure off Garrett WIlson. 

IMO, I believe for any young rookie QB to survive on this team, they need to sit holding the clipboard for a year or two learning before he starts. Remember Chad Pennington he was drafted in the first round and was benched for almost four years before he took over as QB from Vinny Testaverde. I strongly believe owner Woody Johnson again meddled in the development of both these QBs, so he can sell seats. That is why I believe the Jets need to draft a QB and sit on him until he is ready. This team is looking really bad with rookie QB's, its where they come to die before their careers even starts.

Because I don’t think there’s a team out there, that he’d agree to go to, where he’d be the definitive #2.

[83Kelly2Allen18]

Maybe some team gives up a late pick idk. Regardless I want the QB position completely overhauled behind Rodgers

 

Rodgers

Wentz

McCarthy* - 1st rd

 

For the love of God Woody, it's the most important position in sports. You need a long term plan. So tired of it.

Get this guy in here as backup. Better to be safe than sorry.

Trying to figure out a way for a CFL team to send the Jets compensation?

Zach Wilson will be released.

I’d bet there are.  
Someone will think with his tools they can teach him how to play QB.

[FidelioJet]

Zero chance Zach is coming back.

Getting traded or released is a still a question - but no chance he's a Jet next year.

Pretty much.  It’s what’s best for both parties, cut that chord and don’t look back

6.1 Billion from 637 million isn’t a good long term plan?   Friend.

There is no way Zach is on the team next season. That bridge has been burned.

They will cut him if it comes down to it.

That is a lot in today's day and age.  The days of Bob Woodward investigative journalism have given way to click bait speed.

[DoubleDown]

"Zach is evaluating his trade options" = "Zach's return for year 4 is inevitable" is a strange take.

[varjet]

I can see Woody having trouble paying him $5.5mm to play for someone else.  
 

Zach and the Jets should be looking for a trading partner.  All we need is someone to take meaningful salary off of our hands.   He is not worth a high draft pick. 
 

trade him and the 3rd to the broncos for Cortland Sutton.  We take Sutton’s cap.  Something like that can work. 

[Beerfish]

He will not be back he was given assurances by the jets he would be moved when he was 'deciding' if he wanted to play last year after being benched.
