The Jets are committed to Zach Wilson despite their search for a quarterback replacement. General manager Joe Douglas, who drafted Wilson second overall in 2021, talked about the team’s plan for Wilson under the new offensive coordinators at the NFL Scouting Combine. Douglas said that the coaches are excited to work with Wilson and that they have had positive discussions. The Jets’ stance on Wilson has not changed, and they believe he has a high ceiling despite his struggles in his second season.
Although the Jets went 5-4 in the games Wilson started last season, the BYU product struggled and was benched for Mike White after a disastrous outing in a loss to the Patriots in Week 10. The Jets are now in the market for a veteran quarterback due to their win-now mentality. The team has had preliminary talks about trading for the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and has met with free agent quarterback Derek Carr. This has left Wilson’s role with the Jets a bit uncertain.
However, the Jets’ confidence in Wilson’s potential has not wavered. Douglas believes that when players love the game and work hard, they usually hit their ceiling, and Wilson has those traits. Douglas feels strongly that Wilson will be able to reach his full potential.
