Zach Wilson's NFL career suffers another blow amid Aaron Rodgers trade talks

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson endured a torrid 2022 campaign which saw him benched before losing his spot as the starter, and is set for another blow with the acquisition of Aaron Rodgers in his hotly-anticipated trade - but things may have just got even worse for the 2020 NFL Draft lottery pick.

The Jets had already seemingly decided they would make Wilson their back-up quarterback for the upcoming 2023 NFL season, and haven't been shy about their much-publicised pursuit of Rodgers. Jets officials have been in talks with the Green Bay Packers for some time now trying to thrash out a deal, which is expected to be concluded before the NFL Draft at the end of April.

Now, however, it seems the quarterback could suffer another blow in his attempt to revitalise his NFL career, with news the Jets have acquired free agent Tim Boyle to bolster their options at the position. Boyle will likely come in as the third-string option, but his arrival will add another layer of pressure on Wilson.
