After yet another disappointing season with Zach Wilson at quarterback, it seemed like the New York Jets were finally set to move on from Wilson. It sounds like that is still the case, but it hasn’t happened yet, and Jets general manager Joe Schoen might have just revealed why.
During a recent press conference, Joe Schoen claimed that the team sees Zach Wilson as “an asset” and implied that the team had not received a trade offer from another team that they deemed acceptable in return for him.
“I know you guys talked to Woody about Zach and my thoughts are in line with Woody,” Douglas said, via SNY. “Zach is an asset. At that same time, we’re obviously open to trading Zach. There have been discussions, nothing’s really changed since we talked down in Florida. We’re open to trading him, there’s just no update on that.”
Obviously, it’s pretty insane news that the Jets are continuing to claim that Wilson is an asset and expect some sort of return for him in a trade given everything he’s shown the past few years, and this move has led to a lot of reactions on social media as a result.
So is a plunger when you need one…

Agreed! He tends to be a huge asset to Jet opponents!

That’s a weird way to spell liability

We’ll have to see whether or not the Jets ever get a trade offer they deem worthy.
