Quick Glance: Zach Wilson Trade Notes: Jets Deal QB to Broncos before 2024 NFL Draft
- Nearly three years have passed since the New York Jets selected quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are now officially trading the heavily criticized signal-caller to the Denver Broncos.
- At the age of 24, Wilson has been available since the beginning of the 2024 offseason, with the team's general manager, Joe Douglas, openly stating the intention to relocate the former first-round pick.
- In urgent need of quarterback reinforcements, the Broncos made significant roster moves by releasing veteran starter Russell Wilson before free agency and entering the draft with Jarrett Stidham leading the depth chart.
- By signing journeyman Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup earlier this offseason, the Jets effectively indicated the conclusion of Zach Wilson's tenure with the team.
