It\u2019s not in a negative way, it\u2019s a positive way. It\u2019s making everybody else better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wilson\u2019s future with the Jets and what they do at quarterback is going to be the focus of this offseason. The Jets drafted Wilson at No. 2 overall just 21 months ago. But he ended up getting benched twice this season and threw only six touchdown passes. Wilson looked like he regressed and he played terribly in his final start of the year against the Jaguars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> manager Joe Douglas, who drafted Wilson, echoed the support that coach Robert Saleh has given Wilson lately.

We\u2019re going to do what we\u2019ve done with every player \u2014 that\u2019s work with Zach, develop Zach. We\u2019re going to do everything we can to ultimately help Zach reach his full potential here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There had been a thought that the Jets could look to trade Wilson, but that seems unrealistic. It will be hard to find a taker for a player who has not proven he can be a starting quarterback but has the contract of the No. 2 overall pick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Jets must now decide how to proceed with Wilson on the roster but not as the starting quarterback. The Jets could pursue a free agent in March like Jimmy Garoppolo or Derek Carr, who is expected to get cut by the Raiders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH2514298153&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Wilson was asked if he wants to stay with the Jets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely, I do and I think it\u2019s because this is a special place and the people here are special and this locker room is full of special guys that I truly think are people that you\u2019d play really hard for and they\u2019re special,\u201d Wilson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saleh was asked if Wilson will be the starting quarterback in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing I can promise him is that he\u2019s going to have an absolute chance to go in and compete,\u201d Saleh said. \u201cNo different whether he\u2019s our starter, whether we sit back and re-devote to him as a starter, whatever it is, whatever decision we make, I will stand by what I\u2019ve told you guys in the past that these next four months up until OTAs are about him. It\u2019s not about the jersey. It\u2019s about him and him getting his mind right and him getting his mental and physical parts right. I think he\u2019ll do that. He\u2019s a good kid and works hard. He understands what the main thing is. He\u2019s young. He\u2019s only 23 years old. He\u2019s trying to figure all this out just like I am.

Wilson did not play until Week 4. Early in the season, the Jets were winning <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s with Wilson at quarterback, but not because of him. Things fell apart in two games against the Patriots and with postgame comments that irritated his teammates after the second loss. Saleh benched Wilson for Mike White. Wilson got another shot when White suffered broken ribs, but he did not play well in two starts and found himself on the bench again for the final two games of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite this rough season, Saleh said he expects Wilson to make progress in Year 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do expect him to take a jump going into his third year and understanding how to handle everything, just decompressing and reset and doing all that stuff,\u201d Saleh said. \u201cI think he\u2019s going to have a tremendous amount of growth. Again, he\u2019s only 23 years old. So, I do expect him to have that big jump and whatever happens from there happens.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
