The New York Jets have traded quarterback Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos, marking a significant shift in the Jets' franchise. Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has struggled to live up to expectations in New York.
The Broncos acquired Wilson and a seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round pick. The deal was finalized on Monday, ahead of the NFL Draft.
USA TODAY's Nate Davis graded the trade positively for both sides. The Broncos received a potential franchise quarterback without sacrificing a high draft pick, while the Jets shed an underperforming player and gained draft capital.
The trade is a clear indication that the Jets are moving on from Wilson and will be looking for a new starting quarterback in the upcoming draft.
