The New York Jets are trading quarterback Zach Wilson and a seventh-round draft pick to the Denver Broncos, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports
Per the report, the Jets will receive a sixth-round pick in return and will pay part of Wilson's $5.5 million salary next season.
Wilson joins the Broncos after three failed seasons in New York. The Jets selected Wilson with the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft with hopes that he could develop into their long-awaited franchise quarterback. He instead was benched repeatedly for poor play in his first two seasons before the Jets moved on to acquire Aaron Rodgers prior to the 2023 season.
