The New York Jets traded away quarterback Zach Wilson on Monday, ending his lackluster tenure with the organization that drafted him out of college three years ago.
The 24-year-old is headed for Denver, which needed help at the position after Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March.
NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport posted on social media that the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft had been traded for a late-round draft pick in this week’s draft.
Additionally, the Jets offered to eat up some of Wilson’s remaining salary for the coming season – a sum of more than $5 million.
“Sources say he’s being traded to the #Broncos, hoping for a fresh start,” Rapoport reported.
