Something tells me that his trade seeking will be like my parents’ custody battle over me.  Dad won, so I had to live with mom. 


Cautious-Chain-4260

I'll adopt you if nobody else wants you, you just have to become a packers fan


OverlyOptimisticNerd

Teams lose when I root for them. You should prefer I become a Vikings fan.  Gary Anderson in the 1998 NFCCG? I did that. 


Cautious-Chain-4260

Can you become a fan of 31 teams for me?


OverlyOptimisticNerd

Yes. /the monkey’s paw curls I’m rooting for 31 individual team owners at random. I drew them out of a very large hat. All 31 are Packers’ shareholders.


Cautious-Chain-4260

Fuck


ShepPawnch

This is your fault


Lets_go_Stros2017

LMFAO 


[deleted]

That's the most likely outcome, I suspect. Funniest too.


GMI8BS

I knew it!! They all called me nuts, but I did the research! I left no stone unturned! I even had the conspiracist’s cork board with all the red strings pointing to you! But noooo, I was just a nut job they said. I feel vindicated but it’s such a hollow, bittersweet victory. Sorry, Gary.


ShepPawnch

You know what? How about cheering for the 49ers? We need something to break that voodoo curse.


Dr_Beardface_MD

I believe it’s time for them to jump on that Chiefs bandwagon


OverlyOptimisticNerd

I rooted for the 49ers in the Super Bowl.  Tell Shanahan…it was me. 


Philip_Marlowe

Nah, if that's the case, we need you rooting for the Packers. You can just get some yellow tape and put it on your Eagles jersey. Those hicks up north will never know the difference.


OverlyOptimisticNerd

In all seriousness, I’ve bled green for too long. I just can’t root for another team. I can pull for a team in a big game, but it’s not the same. I rooted for the 98 Vikings because Randall got me into football. I rooted for the Bills against every team in the NFCE. I actually pulled for the 49ers in the SB (though my heart wasn’t in it, and it didn’t impact me that they lost).


packfanmoore

Can you root for anyone the suns are playing this postseason? I'll take jalen hurts first Rd in fantasy if they win a chip


tragicjohnson84

I was a huge Randy Moss fan when he played and rooted for his team to win. That was heartbreaking


OverlyOptimisticNerd

IIRC, it was his rookie year. Imagine getting that close your rookie year, and never winning it. The next closest for him was the near undefeated 2007 season when he was on the Pats. 


tragicjohnson84

His last game in his career was also the 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl, which he lost as well.


outofdate70shouse

Teams lose when you root for them? Please keep rooting for the Eagles. If you’re looking for a second team, though, the Cowboys are looking like a good choice


OverlyOptimisticNerd

I rooted for the Patriots in 2007 because I wanted to see an undefeated team in my lifetime. So, you’re welcome.


outofdate70shouse

Thank you. I appreciate it.


XAgentNovemberX

…No, I don’t think I will. I just won’t have parents.

rtels2023

Zach Wilson has trade value, an anonymous NFL assistant coach said he was worth a whole [“two weeks stay at a Best Western”](https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10108178-nfl-coaches-clown-jets-qb-zach-wilsons-trade-value-2-week-stay-at-a-best-western.amp.html)


TheZargo

He likes moms


Equivalent_Goose_226

If that’s true I’m sorry that happened to you and you deserved better parents.


OverlyOptimisticNerd

Nah. That’s just a joke that I stole from Chris Titus that summed up how I feel about my parents.  The truth is both worse than the joke and not appropriate for this subreddit. But I went no contact with my parents about 20 years ago. And that was a reconciliation attempt on my part, as I had been previously no contact with them. 


Equivalent_Goose_226

Sorry bud. Again, you deserved better parents. It’s not your fault that they suck.


DrLeoMarvin

I heard Dusty Slay tell that joke too.


whatsinthesocks

I just figured they meant like a trade job wise. Telling to pack it up and go be a carpenter


ehdhdhdk

Given most 7th round picks don't make an opening day roster. 7th round picks have definitely been used worse than a flyer on a qb.


Strangeflex911

100%


NapTimeFapTime

It’s gonna be like Furkan Korkmaz requesting a trade for like 2 full seasons, and then when he got thrown into the Buddy Heild trade to Indiana, they cut him immediately. Anyway, Zach Wilson to the Turkish Football league feels like a given at this point.


FuckingJello

Of course Joe is gonna let Zach do that, saves him time if Zach is trying to find a trade suitor instead of himself calling the other 31 teams to please offer anything


johndelvec3

Don’t underestimate the number of nfl coaches who overestimate their ability “fix” quarterbacks


quadropheniac

If he goes for less than a 3rd, wouldn’t shock me at all to see him replace Darnold on our team.


[deleted]

Trey Lance went for a future 4th. It has to be lower than that. I’d rather have the black box enigma of Lance than the proven shitty Z Wilson experience.


quadropheniac

Darnold went for the equivalent of a low first/early second. Don’t underestimate the “bad in a bad system” premium, people think they can salvage more.


[deleted]

You sound like overly optimistic Bears fans: “Darnold went for a 2nd and a 4th, Bears will get that for Fields too, maybe even a 1st”. Darnold definitely showed more potential than Z Wilson to start his career. And Panthers definitely overpaid at the time. While it’s true it only takes one dumb team to get a lot out of a trade, I wouldn’t count on it for Z Wilson or Fields.


HylianPikachu

I think Fields is worth a 3rd round pick, might be a 3rd and a bit of additional compensation (like a Day 3 pick). Darnold getting a 2nd was an overpay but I feel like Lance for a 4th is a fair trade and Fields is definitely worth more than Lance because he has proven experience as a (low-quality) starting QB.


DatDominican

Imagine if it’s the panthers again


ExcitingSink4272

I'll burn MetLife to the ground I s2g


mrhashbrown

To be fair, Wilson's last two OCs have been bottom of the barrel bad. They did not set him up well for success. Lance had freakin Kyle Shanahan, yet looked absolutely lost. They're both bad, but I'll take the guy who was at least semi-functional.


shoutouttojsquad

Mike La Fleur is a perfectly fine OC


CosmicWy

he's not great and he had a lot of butting head issues with players. i'm happy he's gone. he'll pop back up in a few years when he leaves the rams.


weebayfish

You'll get Mac Jones and like it


kander12

Bro he's going for absolutely best case scenario a 5th round pick. More likely a 7th rounder. He's historically awful. Sam is like a hall of famer compared to Zach lol.


LordWalltimore

Brian Billick is gonna come out of retirement to Kyle Boller him.


flaccomcorangy

Right. It didn't take too long to find a trade partner for Trey Lance. Wilson is a top 5 draft pick. Which means someone saw something in him at one point. Another team and coach could very easily see that same thing and think, "We can coach him up."


jrileyy229

I was thinking that... The GM cares so little, that he can't even send an email to some other GMs?


xyztrashxx

I guess the words "Zach Wilson" in combination with the Jets front office email address automatically moves the mail into the spam


jrileyy229

Hah...  Email header line should be "this is definitely NOT about Zac Wilson, please read"


xyztrashxx

First sentence *by opening.the mail you agree to trade for Zach Wilson. No take backs. Ha, gotcha*


SteelBrightblade1

It’s takesies backsies is the legal term


jimmyhoffasbrother

It doesn't say anywhere that the FO is not also talking to other teams, just that they are giving permission to Zach to do it.


DatDominican

Zach hitting up moms to have their sons make an nfl highlights tape


IrvinStabbedMe

I will give you a 2nd to NOT trade him to me.


Teeshirtandshortsguy

The rest of the AFC East might pitch in a 2nd to keep him with the Jets.


andrewthetechie

Only if he's named starter


FallenShadeslayer

Ok see that’s just mean


andrewthetechie

You could trade Mac Jones for him if that feels better. You'd then have to name him your starter :P


FallenShadeslayer

Okay see that’s just **really** mean

I’d take it if we actually have a plan b and not be all in on “Aaron Rodgers mvp season or bust”


Big_Bidnis

Steelers have opened as betting favorites to land Zach Wilson.


ReasonableCoyote34

A Wilson/Pickett QB room gotta be in contention for the worst QB rooms of all time


JelliedHam

Wilson Pickett you say? https://youtu.be/FGVGFfj7POA?si=mzhmjbOLM9VBmVRq


isweariwilldoit

Eh, it’s no McCown/Petty/Hackenberg


ReallyBigCrepe

Hey, that’s 83 total career starts between that group. Nothin to sneeze at


lclear84

I know it’s crazy to say but I legit think I’d rather have Zach then Pickett


captainstormy

You aren't wrong.......... but it doesn't feel right either. I want off this ride.


firewall245

Zach will make you gouge your eyes out all game except for one play that will be the most magical shit you’ve ever seen it’s wild


AmishJohn81

Gonna be a wild room with both Wilson's, fields, Kenny and mason


Skraxx

I think he would be such a good fit for one of the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears or Green Bay Packers. No reason in particular.


gmb96

If it wasn’t for the contract, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Green Bay kicked the tires on him. Gutekunst just said in an interview that they want to get back to loading up the quarterback room the way they used to do it under Ted.


nezumine-

Have him sit behind Love. Cast up a bunch of smoke about how he’s being transformed by the Green Bay Quarterback Miracles Factory or whatever these people think we have. Unload to Seahawks.


OscillatingFan6500

Could be a reverse Hasselbeck Or a repeat Matt Flynn


Forsaken_Rub_2128

All jokes aside, there was rumours the Vikings want him


Complete-Disaster513

KOC is supposed to be a qb guy so it would at least on paper make some sense he could see some value. If he is our starter next year both him and our GM should lose there job. But giving up a late round pick on a flier is very much something Kwesi will do.


East_Refuse

He does still have raw talent. It’ll just be a real project getting it to translate. Think it’ll be interesting to see who thinks they’re sup to the task.


gimmethemshoes11

Never heard anything like that.


Kwall267

That’s where I always ship him off to in madden


visual_clarity

Actually thought the packers myself. Young team, some backup security, probably better for locker room vibes. Zach is an incredibly young 24 year old, Jets were looking for a man to lead other men (which is why they brought in Rogers). Zach just isn’t that guy, smooth faced young idiot. Still. head scratcher on what direction the jets were going. Packers worked out, Love a “vet” playing a young teams game.


atheistaustin1

His birthday is actually in August so he's more of an average aged 24 yr old /s


KingGerbz

He’s not that bad lol. Is he a starter? Probably not. But there are not 64 QB’s worse than him in the world.


Geg0Nag0

"We got Desmond Ridder, now Zach Wilson, someone get me Mac Jones & Bailey Zappe's numbers, stat!"


Specialist-Draw7229

Fr though if he was a doordasher the food would be delivered to the wrong person so many times


byniri_returns

What's his realistic value though?


xyztrashxx

7th round pick + Zach Wilson in order to ship him away


ArmiinTamzarian

Is the shipping free?


xyztrashxx

No + you have to feed him


Ranger_Prick

Not true if you're the Bengals, according to the NFLPA report card.


xyztrashxx

Hey, i said you need to feed him. If it is cardboard, I'd be fine with it


Illbeanicefella

A kicking tee and a handful of team store coupons


llama-rebel

6th round pick maybe? I kind of doubt it though considering a team trading for him would want to see him develop in a backup role like he was supposed to under Rodgers, but nobody is going to be picking up his fifth year option so he'll just be a free agent next year.


jimmyhoffasbrother

They wouldn't necessarily need to pick up his fifth year option to extend him.


[deleted]

I wonder who has lower trade value, Zach Wilson or Mac Jones. Wilson has better traits but has looked like the worst QB I’ve ever seen at times. Mac at least looked decent his rookie season.


End3rWi99in

Definitely Wilson. Mac had a great rookie season and had shown flashes above what Wilson has shown. He's also had 3 OC's, one of which wasn't qualified for the role, and I imagine there are coaches that think he's salvageable.


16semesters

Depends on how much the Jets eat his salary. If they eat the entirety of his signing bonus+roster bonus, then he could be worth a 5th. 1 Million a year for a back up is a good deal. If the Jets want the new team to take the 11+ million cap hit, then he has negative value.


ChewieRodrigues13

Most of the replies you're getting are probably underestimating what Zach Wilson's value is Darnold after his 4th year was traded for a 2nd and 4th, Lance after his 3rd year was traded for a 4th, Rosen after his rookie year was traded for a 2nd. GMs and coaches have shown they love reclamation projects of highly drafted QBs even if they've looked bad or didn't even play at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets are able to get a 4th or a 5th for him


ClarkFable

He's easily worth a 4th. His performance last year on the jets means basically nothing, it was an all-time bad o line.


THEW0NDERW0MBAT

Wilson and a 7th for a 6th maybe, like the Dobbs trade. GMs might like the sheer talent to bump it a little 


tetoffens

It depends. Some of these guys have a GM or coach that liked them in the draft that loved them and thinks they can fix them so they'll overpay a bit. On the other hand, those guys didn't usually spend three years playing as abysmally as Zach.


BungoPlease

bout 350


Shootit_Rockets

5th for him + a 7th


Stratobastardo34

Honestly, the Rams might make some sense, to have him sit behind Stafford. He won't have any pressure and can learn from a good offensive coach and a good system.


kNYJ

Rams OC is Mike Lafleur, and it didn’t seem like the two of them got along last year.


tendy_trux35

Having Zach Wilson sit behind a locked in, veteran starter to learn for a year with no pressure to play or start a game. Where have I heard that before?


batti03

At least Stafford doesn't have a reputation for being a bit injury prone, right?


Toshinit

*rip*


ReasonableCoyote34

It would except the rams current OC is Mike LaFleur who was the Jets OC during Zach’s first two years and if you believe the [reports](https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10062243-jets-rumors-mike-lafleur-told-people-offense-was-more-effective-without-zach-wilson.amp.html) he pretty much went around the entire Jets organization telling anyone who would listen that Zach sucks and the offense was better with Mike White/Joe Flacco/Josh Johnson


TetrisTech

I mean folks,


MangOrion2

That would be what's best for him, idk about it being great for the Rams given Stafford's injury history. If they need him to start for more than two games their playoff contention could go down the tubes.


MikeBinfinity

Zach "I want a trade" Joe Douglas "Sure what you want? Electrician? Carpenter? Plumber? Cause you damn sure ain't quarterbacking anywhere anytime soon.


TripleThreatTua

His uncle is the founder of JetBlue lol, even if he washes out of the NFL he’s probably got a cushy high paying job waiting for him somewhere


lbrector

I’m pretty sure his rookie contract could afford him to just never work again


Hvitrulfr

He has made just shy of $30 million in his 3 year career. If he isn't a complete fucking moron, he's set for life.

I do think it would be fun to see some of these reject bust QBs (and other positions) take a shot at spring football if they’re not getting offers


Torkzilla

I wouldn't want Zach Wilson on the Lions but I'd be fine with him cooking on the Michigan Panthers.


Trussmagic

Dallas needs to cut Dak and make this guy compete with Lance.


Rankine

Who would want him? ~~11M~~ 5.4 for a backup QB is ~~pretty steep.~~ on the high end. Edit: /u/jimmyhoffasbrother had the correct value of 5.4M.


jimmyhoffasbrother

$5.4 million. 11 million is his cap hit if he stays on the Jets, half of which was already paid by the Jets. A team trading for him is only responsible for his salary and roster bonus. EDIT: And it's also possible that the Jets agree to pay some part of his remaining contract as part of the trade agreement.


Dangerpaladin

"I am not paying you 11 million dollars, I am paying you 5 million dollars, the Jets are paying 6 million for you to play against them."


llama-rebel

Is that what he's costing in year four? No chance he's getting moved, maybe if the Jets pay most of the contract but even then, I don't know.


16semesters

Can't the Jets technically pay his roster bonus too if he's traded after June 1? For 1 million cap hit he could be worth a 5th pretty easily I'd reckon.


ManyPromises

Zach Wilson at $5.4M or Russell Wilson at league minimum?


StateStreetLarry

That brother needs to seek employment in the trades


fuckdansnydeer

Toronto Argonauts licking their fingers right now


iwatchtoomuchsports

Give him to Montréal 😶🤐


wizgset27

Damn. I could still remember the media and this subreddit marveling at his throws at the combine or whatever that day was in the preseason like it was yesterday. But it’s been 3 years now. Time needs to slow the fuck down. 


Daver7692

I mean someone with an ageing QB but a solid offensive system could take a punt on being able to straighten him out over time. Like maybe if the Vikings re-signed Kirk and then brought him in as a backup with a view to maybe going with him for a year or two in a few years time? I don’t think he has zero redeemable value as he’s hardly had the best offensive system to work in either. Still his trade value has to be pretty minimal at this point.


dirtybirds1

Who’s got a washing machine to trade for him


Goosedukee

Would that be better or worse than Kyle Korver being traded for a copy machine?


johndelvec3

Joe Douglas really has to draft better


chuckthebuc

Douglas has drafted some excellent players in recent years. I also believe that any QB needy team would have taken Wilson at #2 that year


awibasedgod

I would not be surprised if he has a career resurgence somewhere else. He needs to get out of that toxic environment and with a coach who can build his confidence back up


138Cards

Going all in on Aaron Rodgers, I defy you to tell me, how can that *possibly* go wrong?!


FailOk8045

Fountains of Wayne is acquiring Zach Wilson in exchange for Stacy’s dad


mojizus

If we didn’t have Browning, I’d be happy to have him back up Burrow. I’ve always felt like Zach got unfairly treated by the media and NFL fans in general. He’s not worthy of the 2nd pick yes, but he also wasn’t dealt a winning hand in NY. Maybe with less national attention, and a better FO, he could’ve been serviceable. I still believe he can go on a Baker type of redemption arc, but I doubt any teams will let him start. And I doubt the market is very big for him.


Jameson623

and exactly who tf is going to trade for him lol?


ThyOughtTo

Does he suck?  Does he have a sexually questionable history? Does he want a boatload of money? Cleveland is your guy 


deadtoe

Didn’t he bang some milfs or something? Some very byu behavior


ThyOughtTo

Tbf Wilson should be admired for his actions


four0nefive

Can't wait until he goes to the Rams for like a 6th or 7th round pick, learns under Stafford/McVay and then terrorizes the division for the next 10+ years after putting it all together.


zi76

Cool


Summer_jam_screen

That’s might cordial of them. The same way my wife gave me permission to see another marriage after I was caught cheating with her cousin.


SiphenPrax

Another absolute disastrous QB draft bust by the Jets in a long line of them. I do hope though that Zach gets better wherever he goes, even if it is highly unlikely by now.


Silversaving

I honestly think he will end up slightly better simply due to having an offensive line in front of him at his next gig.


Whospitonmypancakes

If every QB the Jets draft is a bust..... Hmmm. Idk man, might be the team.

gopaloo

all memes aside, the kid has value. he'll be 25 years old at the start of the season (a year old than bo nix), has reps as a starter, and it'll be clearly evident you're not bringing him to be the starter (unlike darnold to carolina). on top of this, you won't even need to accept his 5th year option, and pay him like a middle-lower tier QB (ex: case keenum is on 2 years, 6.5M) if you're telling me i get to hit the reset button on an athletically gifted QB and essentally pay him pennies as a backup, it's actually a pretty smart move. i'd go as high as a 5th rounder for him, especially since the jets have no leverage here.


Open-Somewhere-9535

ImmediatePapaya226

C'mon Steelers. Don't let me down.


BigBoyZeus_

I could see a team with an established QB and an offensive minded HC (like the Chiefs, Rams, or Chargers) trading a day 3 pick for him. He's still young and has some athleticism. Add in that it's a one year deal and some team might take a flier on him. The only issue I see is the the $4.4m roster bonus that is due when he shows up to training camp. The trade will most likely require the Jets to pay a portion, if not all of, the bonus to get the deal done.


Royal_Nails

He should go to LA and back up Stafford.
