Zach Wilson landing spots: Logical fits for ex-starting QB if he’s traded; Jets owner says he won’t be cut

After three tumultuous seasons with the New York Jets, quarterback Zach Wilson received the team’s permission to seek a trade. All indications were that Wilson would likely be dealt this offseason, and now, we await that trade partner.

The 24-year-old Wilson isn’t likely to have a robust market, even three years removed from going No. 2 overall in the draft. He’s struggled with accuracy, injury and perceived leadership issues since his entry to the NFL, with the Jets notably acquiring an aging Aaron Rodgers as his planned successor prior to the 2023 campaign. 

Jets owner Woody Johnson called Wilson a “valuable upset” at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting, and said that they won’t just release him, per SNY. That means there’s at least a small chance Wilson could be on the roster in 2024. Johnson also said Wilson needs to be in a situation where he can “observe for a while.” Ultimately, he still believes Wilson can reach his potential in the NFL. 

“He’s got the skill. He can do everything,” Johnson said. “There’s a reason we drafted him at No. 2 overall.”

So where, exactly, could Wilson end up? Here are some potential landing spots:
