It seems that the 2023 NFL season can’t be done soon enough for the New York Jets, which has become a nightmare when it comes to the quarterback position, with Zach Wilson now being thrown back into the mix with a controversy brewing.
The Jets have had zero success in trying to replace superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers ever since he went down with the Achilles injury to start the season in Week 1, as Wilson wasn’t able to shoulder the load, and neither has Tim Boyle or Trevor Siemian.
Even though there’s been a lot of buzz about Rodgers making a miraculous return to the field, it is looking less and less likely that will happen with the team’s playoff chances taking a massive hit lately.
The team appears to want Wilson back on the field, but there have been conflicting reports about whether he wants to resume the starting job in New York, as it seems he’d rather prioritize his health.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Rodgers has talked to Wilson about resuming the starting role under center.
Aaron Rodgers reached out to Zach Wilson in an effort to advise him to resume the starter role, but at the time, Wilson remained apprehensive due to perceived injury risk, per sources.

Needless to say, the Jets are a mess right now, and it’s anyone’s guess what is going on at this point in time.
However, it’s safe to say that there’s probably a massive shake-up on the horizon, with head coach Robert Saleh potentially losing his job, as well as others on the coaching staff and in the quarterback room.
Only time will tell what will happen with the Jets and how the season will end for this team that had so much promise coming into Week 1.
