What happens to Zach Wilson if Aaron Rodgers gets traded to New York Jets? 3 landing spots for the QB

Detroit Lions v New York Jets — Zach Wilson might have to look elsewhere if Aaron Rodgers joins Jets

The New York Jets are anticipated to be quite active in the quarterback market this summer, but they are not necessarily looking to deal Zach Wilson, the second overall pick in 2021.

As per The Athletic's Jeff Howe, Jimmy Garoppolo and Aaron Rodgers are probable Jets starters for the 2023 season. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, there is a widespread belief in the NFL that the Jets will make an attempt to sign Rodgers this season.

Howe claims that Wilson won't be traded by the Jets because they want him to have the opportunity to grow and learn while serving as a backup in 2023.

Wilson won't be able to start the 2023 campaign if the Jets end up signing Aaron Rodgers. These three teams will be the young quarterback's best landing locations in 2023 if he wants to explore other alternatives.

#3 Green Bay Packers

Wilson might be a trade target for the Packers if Rodgers decides to leave Green Bay. Wilson still won't be the starting quarterback with the Packers, as Jordan Love, a previous first-round pick, is anticipated to start this season.

Wilson, on the other hand, might have his chance to steal the starting quarterback position if Love, the Utah State product, doesn't pan out.

#2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tom Brady officially left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason, leaving a massive void at the quarterback position. If the Buccaneers do not sign a veteran, it may be prudent for the franchise to begin rebuilding in 2023.

Kyle Trask, a 2022 second-round pick, is already on the Buccaneers' roster, so why not add another young quarterback, Zach Wilson, to compete with the former Florida standout?

Although neither Trask nor Wilson is expected to start for the Buccaneers in 2023, it may make sense for the two young quarterbacks to compete for the backup role.

#1 Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams are the most plausible team in the NFL to trade Zach Wilson to. Even before offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur joined the club, the Rams met all the requirements.

They are an ageing former contender with an inexperienced roster and an old quarterback. If the Rams are searching for a quarterback to replace Matthew Stafford in the coming future, then Zach Wilson could be a good fit here.
