ESPN’s Mike Greenberg Doubles Down on Preposterous Jets Trade Idea to Replace Aaron Rodgers

After the Jets completed an incredible walk-off victory in Week 1 against the Bills, there was a sense of belief and optimism that the team could possibly still do some damage this season, even without Aaron Rodgers.

But the torn left Achilles tendon suffered by Rodgers was as big of a setback as any NFL team could suffer. But now, after a tough Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, who boast one of the NFL’s best defenses, it appears that optimism, specifically in regard to quarterback Zach Wilson is all but gone—at least in the eyes of ESPN host and prominent Jets fan Mike Greenberg.

It appears Greeny is ready to move on to what’s next, and is banging the table for the Jets to “call the Vikings and beg them to trade you Kirk Cousins, or someone else,” as he said Monday morning on ESPN’s Get Up. This came after Greenberg stated that Wilson is “not an NFL quarterback” and that the Jets coaching staff is “scared” to let Wilson do anything.
