It’s not the Jets. Wilson is seeking his own destination. The Jets are not shopping Zach Wilson. This was reported by his hometown paper in November. He knows what his market is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1 hour ago, Jetsfan80 said: @Sperm Edwards can correct me if I’m wrong but looks like Jacksonville will only eat at maximum $2.8M of Jones’ salary this year. 6th + $2.8M of Mac vs a 7th + $5.2M for Zach. Which is the better deal, Zach stans? This is correct. They both suck and Zach is nearly double the $ for the year. Neither has any chance of having his 5th year option exercised. There's also a chance it costs no picks anyway (depending how many FAs Jacksonville loses & signs in '25), as they could get back a compensatory 6th or 7th for Jones in '26. Depends if he sees the field at all; if Lawrence plays his usual 16-17 games then a comp 7th is the best they'd likely get back if kept the whole season. Alternatively, if someone is ultra-desperate for a month before the trade deadline, they might get back more than that 6th a year later by moving Jones in October. There'd have to be a perfect storm of circumstances, though, and I wouldn't anticipate that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bicketybam Posted March 10 Popular Post Share Posted March 10 I think Zach wants to be where he’s most comfortable. In terms of destinations, that’s going to be the Jets. Perhaps they can figure out a way to IR him and he can get a true gap year and hang in Utah and figure out his next move. The challenges right now, IMO, is the places he wants to go don’t want him but he also doesn’t want to be released. Less than 0 chance Zach is with the Jets this coming season. Book it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Island Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Remember this gem: Zach Wilson is one of just a handful of 2021 NFL first-round draft picks who has yet to sign his rookie contract after fellow quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones inked their deals earlier this week with Jacksonville and New England, respectively.Jul 9, 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 This sets a ceiling for Wilson in a bad way. As sperm pointed out, Wilson's comp is twice Jones's contract. No reasonable GM is trading away more for a comparable (or worse) QB with twice the cap hit. The Jets would be extremely lucky to get a seventh for Wilson. It's more likely with this trade that the Jets will have to either keep him or cut him and hope another team picks him up so they can offset some of his rookie contract.

Worst qb in the nfl and has a $11.1 mil cap hit. Mac Jones is not good but he’s way better than Zachenberg and he’s probably going to have a long career as an ok NFL backup qb. He can be a Case Keenum type so he has value. Zach has negative value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastMole Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I'd say Zach + pick 256 in the 7th round + pick 257 in the 7th round (the Mister Irrelevant pick) will get the Jets Pick 255 in the 7th Round. That sounds about right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 It's a good deal for the Jags. Kind of in a way an exchange of QBs since the Patriots picked up Nathan Roarke from Jax earlier in the season and just re-signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan56 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The Jets understood his market was zero. The intent was to always have him back on the roster. Woodys comments were purposeful. The folks here who can’t believe it will be telling themselves in a month it’s the right move. Football guy got banned but he was telling us this was the case. Granted the Jets are fools and he was peddling their foolish nonsense, but they want Zach on the roster.Interesting theory, but only if they truly believe working with AR can improve his play. If he sits as #3 all year he will be a FA this time next year and not worth more than low back up money for another year behind AR. This year’s money is already spent/guaranteed unless some other team takes the 5M salary off the NYJ hands. Maybe some other teams qb injury in training camp helps with a trade, right now teams have too many other options. FWIW Zach’s skill level is well above MAC’s it all depends on what some team is looking for and how much smarter than the NYJ’s coaching staff they think they are.

varjet Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 By cutting Zach, if someone else signs him the Jets save $1+mm in cash and cap if another team picks him hip for the vet minimum. Possible but not guaranteed. $1mm is a $1mm. Saving $1mm is the best thing that can happen to Woody and JD here. This trade is not terrible for the Jaguars. They get back up QB. Mac Jones is from UF. He must be delighted to return to FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
