Jets will not release Zach Wilson according to Woody Johnson

He has to say this regardless, but really who can blame them? It’s an all in season, and cap is very tight. We can’t eat his dead cap hit comfortably. It’s easy to make sure a Qb3 never has to play, and Zach isn’t some type of psychopath or sociopath. If he’s never asked to play and never in the spotlight I have a hard time believing he acts like a locker room cancer
The 31 other teams:
“Is this supposed to be a threat?”
Guess we have our QB3 this season lol
Fields landed such a mediocre return that nobody is gonna give anything (literally anything) for Zach. His only path out of here is to release him….so if that’s off the table, he’s gonna be Captain Clipboard this year.
I don’t care if Zach is QB 6 on the depth chart. If he’s on this roster, fate will make sure he sees the field in 2024.
Is the $5 million dead cap hit that different from just cutting him now? They have to make sure he’s not on this team. For everyone’s sake, mostly his
That’s dumb. I’d honestly suggest if there are no buyers, he can remain on the practice squad.
Shills will say Woody Johnson isn’t such a bad owner and then things like this happen
Hours ago: we totally have other offers!
Now: I swear we are not releasing him!
I don’t hate the idea of letting the guy ride the bench as 3rd string QB. Hypothetically if AR plays most of the season and gets hurt for 1-2 games and tyrod then plays most of those 1-2 games, ZW could fill in if tyrod goes down and our defense will be good enough to possibly close out the game with ZW running game manager offense.
If they say they’re going to release him who the he’ll would trade?
What the hell does Zach have on this organization? This is the most bizarre saga I’ve ever seen with a player. Just let him go.
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Long time till the draft, I’m sure this saga will continue
Will he even get pre-season game reps?
There isnt much point in cutting him if they cant trade him. As much as I hate Zach Wilson and want him anywhere but on this team – we are going to be paying him regardless. If he is the 3rd string QB(or even a backup to whoever we bring in if both ARod and Tyrod went down) it makes the most financial sense to just keep him.
Joy…
Woody is just saying this so someone trades for Zach. No chance Wilson is on this roster next year.
No shit. Pretty sure it costs as much if not more to cut him. He’s either traded or qb3 for the year.
Best case is an injury occurs somewhere and he gets a tiny bit of value.
Can his contract be restructured, thereby changing the terms of the cap, and if so, who would that be up to, if not Zach?
No problem with Zach as a QB 3.
Can people stop saying he costs cap space to cut and stop talking out of their ass?
He’s in the final year of a fully guaranteed contract. He does not cost additional cap space to cut. There’s just zero savings.
Most teams don’t even have a third QB and even signing one to a minimum deal doesn’t really do anything to the cap so stop clutching at straws to defend your completely incorrect takes that Zach has a higher cap penalty if cut.
We will never learn.
Fuck the dead cap or whatever sunk cost bullshit rationale there is for keeping Zach. Zach is inevitably going to start another game for us and it will be another wasted season.
We sure got our money’s worth out of Zach last year though…
Is there a way the fans can vote an owner out?
Buckle up, bitches.
I offered $20 and my other half of a pastrami sandwich for him, idk what I’ll do with him since I’m an attorney but he can come to court with me I guess
Well, I guess if we are keeping him this year the best thing to come out of this is that he’ll actually get a year to learn under Rodgers. Hopefully that will actually help a bit for his sake, and he gets somewhat better, and then for our sake we can let him go next year for a better deal?
Better then woody saying well just cut him if they don’t tbh
Training camp fodder.
Let him take the beating over Tyrod and ARod.
Of course this means in Bizarre Jets land, both get hurt, he gets pressed into service, lights it up crazy, wins SB, JD victory laps and gives him 3/75, ARod retires, and he sucks for the entirety of the contract.
He will be starting by week 7 if he stays. There are 2 very fragile quarterbacks in front of him
Woody isnt going to cut his illegitimate son
Do they get discount on JetBlue corporate rentals or something if Wilson is employed?
If they move him to the PS doesn’t that relieve the cap hit for the time he’s on the PS? Thought I remembered something like that but could be completely wrong.
Good. No rush to drop him. Keep him as a QB3 and he never suits up. Some team at the deadline will have a major injury at quarterback and will hopefully trade for him then.
1sr string practice squad tackling dummy
I’d love him to stay with the jets and get pissed off and learn from both older qbs.
Draft a QB with the last pick in the draft and make him QB3 if Aaron and Tyrod go down
