Ahead of the Jets’ Sunday matchup with the Chiefs, it has become apparent within the Jets organization that this game could determine quarterback Zach Wilson’s future with the team amid his historic struggles.
If Wilson does not click with the offense and throw for 300 yards, his time as the team’s starter could come to an end, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. Once source texted Russini, “Something needs to change, or it’s going to cost jobs.”
Wilson was set to spend the 2023 campaign on the bench backing up four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers, but everything changed when he tore his Achilles in Week 1. As a result, Wilson was thrown back onto the field as the Jets’ starter after two seasons of poor play and nothing has shown that he has grown to be the team’s permanent No. 1 option in the future.
