Ever since the New York Jets lost future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to an Achilles injury during the first game of the season, their quarterback position has been a bit of a question mark. And it looks like things are taking another pretty wild turn in that regard for the team.
Earlier this season, the Jets decided to bench backup quarterback Zach Wilson in favor of Tim Boyle when Wilson struggled and the offense failed to produce. Now, it sounds like the team might want to go back to Wilson, but Wilson might not want the job.
“The Jets want to make a switch at QB. The team is leaning towards Zach Wilson to take over, but he is reluctant to [step] back in, sources tell @DMRussini and me. The team is hoping he changes his mind as they continue to discuss the next steps,” Rosenblatt said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, this is a pretty insane turn of events, and the NFL world had a lot to say about it on social media as a result.
Zach Wilson saying “nah I’m good, y’all got it” is perhaps the funniest possible plot twist in this Jets QB situation. https://t.co/yLMULY4QTf

It’s certainly been an adventure at the quarterback position for the Jets this season.
