New York Jets Bench Zach Wilson

Zach Wilson has actually formally been relegated to the pine.

The New York Jets are benching the 23-year-old — the 2nd general choice in the 2021 NFL Draft — following a string of bad efficiencies … and an interview that appeared to disturb a few of his protective gamers.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter simply broke the news … stating Jets head coach Robert Saleh notified his group of the choice throughout a conference Wednesday early morning.

Either Joe Flacco or Mike White is anticipated to be the new starter moving forward.

Wilson had actually been playing dreadful in the last couple of weeks, and, to make matters worse for the QB, he appeared to ruffle a few of his colleagues’ plumes when he stated after the abysmal loss to the Patriots that he didn’t seem like he had let his defense down.

Both star corner Sauce Gardner and protective end John Franklin-Myers liked a tweet slamming Wilson for not taking responsibility … although the 2 stated later they did it on mishap.

Suuuuuure.

Despite the dysfunction under center, the 6-4 Jets extremely still take a crack at to make the playoffs this year.
