Jets' Zach Wilson Trade Saga Still Unresolved Six Weeks Later
Lingering Impasse Raises Questions About Quarterback's Future
New York Jets Unwavering in Trade Pursuit Despite Limited Market Interest
More than six weeks after granting permission to Zach Wilson to explore trade options, the New York Jets continue to hold onto their embattled quarterback. Despite Wilson's underwhelming tenure in the Big Apple, the Jets remain steadfast in their pursuit of a trade, but the market for the quarterback has been surprisingly cold.
The Jets have reportedly been making calls to other teams, but no concrete offers have materialized. Part of the reason for this lack of interest could be Wilson's inconsistency and injury history. In three seasons with the Jets, the former No. 2 overall pick has failed to establish himself as a reliable starter.
While the Jets have not abandoned their trade efforts, they are reportedly holding out hope that the market will pick up around the NFL Draft, which takes place in late April. Some analysts speculate that teams may be waiting to see if more proven quarterbacks become available through the draft or free agency before making a move for Wilson.
Should the Jets fail to trade Wilson, they face the prospect of having the quarterback on their roster for another season. However, his status as the Jets' starting quarterback is far from certain. With free agency and the draft rapidly approaching, the Jets could bring in a new signal-caller to compete with Wilson or even replace him outright.
The 49ers and Packers have been identified by Sporting News as potential landing spots for Wilson, due to their need for a quarterback and their reputation for developing young players. However, it remains to be seen whether either team is willing to part with valuable assets for a player who has yet to fulfill his potential.
