Analysis: Add Zach Wilson to the list of recent first-round quarterbacks who won’t see out their rookie contracts with the teams that selected them. It’s virtually certain that he will not be back with the Jets next season.
Thursday night’s debacle in the cold December rain, with the Jets’ offense hitting new lows in ineptitude and the No. 2 pick from 2021 being benched for the second time this season, was the end, in the eyes of general managers and evaluators around the league. The Jets cannot and will not bring him back to that locker room for a long offseason; hence, Coach Robert Saleh’sthat Wilson will be inactive in Week 17.
“All of that booing is driving him crazy,” said the executive, who predicted more changes are in store, possibly reaching the upper levels of the front office. “He already wasn’t really sold on this coach. He’s going to want [offensive coordinator Mike] LaFleur out and some changes to that staff. He can’t help himself. Weren’t they 6-3 at the bye? And now they’re getting booed out of their own stadium at Christmas. I’m telling you, something is going to happen there.
During the Jets’ four-game losing streak, they have scored a grand total of 54 points. They have been held to 20 points or fewer in seven of their past nine games. Since Week 7, Jets quarterbacks have combined for eight touchdown passes — tied for the fourth fewest in the NFL — with a 77.5 rating that is also fourth worst. They’re tied for last in offensive points per game since Week 7, somehow level with the broken Denver Broncos.
They still must travel to Seattle and Miami to close what’s becoming a lost season, with their playoff hopes not officially expunged but nearly so. The specter of ending this once-promising campaign with six straight losses and a last-place finish in the AFC East — the miserable Patriots already swept them — won’t improve Johnson’s mood. The Jets seem a mess once more.
