The future of Zach Wilson in a New York Jets uniform couldn’t be more up in the air for 2024 after head coach Robert Saleh’s comments heading into the final week of the regular season.

A main reason that is the case stems from Wilson’s lackluster performance in Year 3 as a Jet following Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles injury just four plays into his tenure with New York. 

Wilson has been benched numerous times again this season after being demoted twice in 2022. He won’t be the team’s starting quarterback for Week 18 against the New England Patriots either, as he’s yet to clear concussion protocol following a head injury from Week 15’s loss to the Miami Dolphins.
