NFC Team ‘Might Bite’ on Trade for Jets QB Zach Wilson: Analyst

The New York Jets may have found a taker if they choose to trade Zach Wilson this offseason.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers “might bite” if the former BYU player could be had

“for late-round compensation,” according to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report.

Bucs Could Make Sense as a Potential Landing Spot

The major choice facing Tampa Bay this summer is whether to give quarterback Baker Mayfield a contract extension.

He just finished an incredible season in which he recorded new career highs in throwing yards (4,044), completion percentage (64.3%), and touchdowns (28). Baker was acquired by the Bucs for $4 million on a one-year contract at a discount.

Despite the fact that he deserves a substantial raise this offseason. Based on Spotrac’s estimation of his market value, Mayfield is anticipated to agree to a $108 million, four-year contract. According to Over The Cap, he would be the fifteenth highest-paid quarterback in football with the $27.1 million yearly compensation.

Tampa Bay might give Wilson a try if they decide not to keep him, or even if they do.

“Considering Tampa’s readiness to take a risk on Mayfield, it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise if the team decided to try another previous first-round pick who didn’t work out. The Bucs might bite, according to Knox, if Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, or Trey Lance are available for late-round compensation. “Until they get it right, the Buccaneers must throw as many darts at the quarterback position as they can.” Although Mayfield might be the solution, Tampa needs a backup plan.

Within league circles, there is a feeling that Wilson may fetch the Jets a sixth- or seventh-round pick. Not only can general manager Joe Douglas always add picks, but he can also cut costs.

In 2024, Wilson will be required to deduct $11.1 million from the cap. The Jets will not save any money if they release him. The Jets may save $5.5 million if they trade him away with his current contract, though.

Latest Jets QB Rumors Ahead of Free Agency

Douglas told the media that there is a “high probability” that they add a veteran quarterback this offseason to back up Aaron Rodgers.

Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic told Will Parkinson of “TOJ Talks” that he knows the organization “loves” both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew heading into free agency.

Although he said whether or not the feeling is mutual is very much TBD. Former NFL general manager Randy Mueller told me on “The Boy Green Show” that the Jets aren’t a very attractive destination for backup quarterbacks this offseason.

Rodgers is the clear QB1, everyone is on the hot seat heading into 2024, and how much the Jets are willing to pay for the position is unclear.
