Zach Wilson’s messy Jets career to end with reported trade to Broncos

• Denver send sixth-round pick to New York in return
• Wilson disappointed after Jets picked him No 2 overall

The New York Jets are reportedly trading former first-round pick Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos, ending a career with the team that ranged from satisfactory to disastrous.

Wilson will compete with Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci to begin next season as the Broncos' starter, although Denver may select a quarterback in this week's draft. ESPN reports that the Broncos sent a sixth-round pick to the Jets in return for Wilson and a seventh-round pick. New York and Denver will split Wilson's $5.5m salary in 2024 equally, according to ESPN.
