According to Woody Johnson, the Jets will retain Zach Wilson if they are unable to make a trade for him.

Johnson recognized that it would be advantageous for Wilson to begin anew with a different team.

Johnson explained that he does not reject them. He clarified that if something was rejected, it would be Joe who rejected it.

Both the Jets and Wilson would reap advantages from an expedited trade agreement, but Douglas insists that the Jets must also benefit from the arrangement. They are not looking to simply offload him.

In the past month, during Super Bowl week, Johnson stated that there was a need for a backup quarterback since one was not available last year.

“We’re so early in this offseason process,” Douglas said. “There’s a lot of meat left on the bone when it comes to even getting to training camp or even OTAs. I haven’t even given that much thought.”

The Jets have been searching for a potential candidate to assume the former No. 2 overall pick from their team, but so far, no viable options have emerged.

“I have mixed feelings about Zach,” Johnson expressed. “It would have been ideal if last year he could have simply observed and learned from a seasoned professional, which he’s never had the opportunity to do. He’s been thrown into the thick of things since the beginning. However, I believe this is what he needs. He needs a chance to observe and absorb. He has the talent and capability to excel, which is why we drafted him as the second overall pick. I am confident that he will reach that point in time.”

Douglas expressed that the key is to ensure that both the team and the player benefit. Everyone is striving towards this goal, but ultimately, the team’s best interest will be prioritized.

According to Johnson, it would be favorable for him to change his appearance and move to a different location in order to start fresh. This change would likely benefit him.

Douglas was inquired about the possibility of Wilson staying on the Jets until 2024.

According to Pro Football Talk, the Jets have supposedly had offers for Wilson, but it has been Johnson who has been blocking the trade. However, Johnson has denied these claims and stated they are false.

Johnson expressed his regret that Wilson did not have the opportunity to learn from Aaron Rodgers while on the team last season, as originally intended.

According to Jets owner Woody Johnson, the team will not let go of quarterback Zach Wilson unless they are able to find a suitable trade option.

Is it possible for Zach to return?
