Manning: Broncos trade will be good for Zach Wilson
Former Bronco great Peyton Manning has revealed that Zach Wilson will have a better career in Denver based on the carryover and unique system Sean Payton offers.
The Jets traded him and a seventh-round pick (No.256) in exchange for a sixth-round pick (No.203) ahead of the NFL Draft and it was no secret Wilson’s New York tenure ended in turmoil.
However, Manning claims it was wrongdoing to switch coordinators many times throughout Wilson’s specific tenure in New York and that generally, Tom Moore worked with Manning in Indianapolis.
Wilson completed 57 percent of his passes and threw for 300-plus yards only three times in 34 games.

Jets Deny Report of Heated Exchange
After a disappointing season in which the New York Jets finished 7-10 without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, reports are leaking that there was reportedly a heated exchange between NY owner Woody Johnson and coach Robert Saleh.
The Around the NFL Podcast’s Colleen Wolfe was the first to break it and Johnson went on X to deny claims of any friction between the well-respected coach. Perhaps, Saleh is on the hot seat but there were no arguments at the NFL league meetings.

Will Zach Wilson Be a Jet Next Season?
According to sources, Zach Wilson will not play in the season finale between the rival New England Patriots this upcoming Sunday in Foxborough, MA. This comes off the heels of suffering a mild head injury during Week 15’s brutal loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Regardless, Wilson has faced a ton of scrutiny from the media and fans over the past year regarding his ability to play and lead the Jets.
Aaron Rodgers was expected to start and help the Jets reach the postseason, but because of a Torn Achilles, that ruled out all possibilities of that happening. Wilson, meanwhile, played and talked with a cocky attitude before the season even started expressing at one point his job disdain for second-stringing Rodgers.
Wilson recorded a very low productive season in New York which is why he might suit up again for the Jets but reflecting back to 2021, the quarterback has a rotten touchdown-to-interception ratio, completing far more turnovers than Garrett Wilson celebrations.
The tools are there in New York. The only problem is where to go from here. At BYU, Wilson finished with an adjusted completion percentage of 80.3% and atop his class in deep yards (1286). If there is one notion that does not scream loud incessantly, it is that New York is tough, and R.J. Barrett might after all burst out of his shadow, finally.
The main focus is Wilson, though. He has periodic flashes and one can only hope Jets GM Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh make the right move because solely their future depends on it, after being extended another year by owner Woody Johnson.
