Zach Wilson Traded to Denver Broncos
Former No. 2 Overall Pick Moves West
Three Years After Draft Selection
Zach Wilson's tenure with the New York Jets has come to an end. Three years after selecting him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jets have traded Wilson to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a late-round pick.
The trade occurred on Monday, with Wilson and a seventh-round pick in this year's NFL Draft heading to the Broncos. Wilson's departure from New York marks the culmination of a tumultuous three seasons, during which he was benched three times and struggled to find consistency.
Earlier this offseason, the Jets had allowed Wilson to seek a trade. The quarterback had struggled throughout the 2022 season, leading to his eventual benching in favor of Mike White. Wilson returned to start the Jets' final game of the season, providing a glimpse of his potential but ultimately failing to regain the starting role.
The Broncos, meanwhile, are hoping that Wilson can provide a spark to their struggling offense. The team has cycled through multiple quarterbacks in recent years, with none able to consistently lead the team to success. Wilson, despite his inconsistencies, has shown flashes of talent that suggest he could be a difference-maker in Denver.
