The Facts: Three years removed from drafting Wilson with the second pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets will reportedly be one of the most aggressive teams in the 2023 quarterback carousel this offseason. Appearing on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler noted on Sunday that the Jets will “scour the Earth” for a new quarterback this offseason.

Diehards Line: No longer in rebuilding mode, the front office is focused only on quarterbacks who can immediately put this team over the top. ... Wilson struggled in two seasons as the starter, never finishing either year with a completion rate above 56 percent and being benched twice in 2022. While the franchise is tentatively committed to keeping him, he will be the backup quarterback next season. Trading up for one of the top 2023 NFL Draft QB prospects is unlikely, especially for a franchise in win-now mode. As a result, New York is expected to either trade for a high-end starter or land one of the best NFL free agents in 2023. Future Hall of Fame inductees Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady will likely be at the top of the Jets’ wishlist. If Rodgers and Brady are off the table, trading for Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr becomes the next viable option with Jimmy Garoppolo as a fallback option. While the success of Brock Purdy in the San Francisco 49ers’ offense hurts Garoppolo’s appeal in free agency, head coach Robert Saleh is familiar with him. The Jets have the weapons and defense to compete for a playoff spot and a quarterback who protects the football and makes quick, accurate throws could help end their postseason drought.
