New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas revealed to reporters Wednesday that the team has given permission to quarterback Zach Wilson to seek out a team willing to acquire his services through a trade.
The 24-year-old is due to earn a salary of $11.1 million next season.
The second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Wilson struggled in his three seasons in New York, leading the team to a 12-21 record in the games he started.
New York acquired Aaron Rodgers for the 2023 campaign, which relegated Wilson to the No. 2 spot, but a torn Achilles tendon suffered by Rodgers in the Jets’ opener moved Wilson back to the starting line. from the scene. He completed 60.1% of his pass attempts for 2,271 yards and eight touchdowns against seven interceptions in 12 games.
Wilson was the Jets’ No. 1 quarterback for the first 10 weeks of 2024 before being replaced by Tim Boyle in Week 12. Wilson returned behind center two weeks later, but his season ended when he suffered a concussion against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15.
In his NFL career, Wilson has 6,293 passing yards and 23 touchdowns against 25 interceptions.
