I would think this is Payton's "QB Change of Scenery" longshot project. And he will eye Nix somewhere in the draft..
true story this deal was agreed to a month ago and woody blocked it  
Eric on Li : 4/22/2024 2:40 pm : link
because he was afraid of looking bad if sean payton turned wilson around. the original deal was going to send payton the last pick of the draft.

wilson has no impact on broncos draft plans, payton took him as a flier.

also goes to show that there was literally nobody else in the league willing to take wilson for free.

Fair point and with Jones' injury history, I'd almost rather roll the dice on Wilson rather than Jones (at this point.)

I agree. Maybe leaves Nix out there for us if we don't get one in the first round.

If you pretend 2022 didn’t happen, and that Wilson also had his version of 2022, this would make sense. I want Jones gone, but you have to acknowledge what happened.

I’d give Johnson credit if he moved on after year 2 but he didn’t. Wilson was and is and infinitely worse player.

I didn't say anything about the draft. It just strikes me as an odd flier to take when there were other similar ones available this offseason that would've seemed to fit better

UConn4523 : 4/22/2024 3:15 pm : link
NY is too big for a lot of people, it’s even bigger when you go to a dysfunctional franchise. A fresh start in a more forgiving place with a much better coach is pretty much best possible scenario for Wilson.

who that was this cheap? fields is the only one i can think of but i guess that tells us what the league thinks re fields.

my understanding is that this one came to the broncos not the other way around and they figured it was cheap enough so why not.

Definitely could be. I don’t think any of the top 10 teams will even consider an offer until draft night, but Denver doesn’t have a ton of trade assets, and maybe the dangling of Pat Surtain isn’t enough to entice teams, given that he’ll need to be paid soon.

2/3 - both those QBs were failures.

And much easier to move on when your QB did absolutely nothing AND also refused to play when the Jets wanted to go back to him.

No doubt Giants messed up giving Jones that contract, but he did lead the Giants to their first playoff in 11 years. Otherwise, The Giants would still be moving in Jets playoff history territory.

Zach Wilson wasn't practicing like a pro. Wasn't preparing like a pro and sure as hell wasn't playing like a pro. The Jets has no positive data to go on at all with Wilson. They kept him this long strictly because of optics and #3 overall. They hoped Rodgers would rub off on him. Nope.

Few thoughts on #Broncos/Zach Wilson deal:

*Team has been in market for vet help since March, gets Wilson at low cost ($2.75M, late-round swap).
*Still enough ability with Wilson that perhaps a QB guru such as Sean Payton can salvage him
*Broncos worked on this for weeks. At least one other team checked in.
*Yes, team looking at QB options high in draft but something that was reminded to me: Roster needs much help and not much draft capital. Hard to maneuver that way.

And honestly if Trevor Lawrence struggles this year I could see the Jags making a move here. Truth be told had the Charges not imploded two years ago, Lawrence would have been bounced out of the playoffs in the Wildcard round at home with a 4 INT game..

Good move on their part. Literal addition by subtraction. He absolutely had to go. They did the kid a favor by sending him to Payton. Payton and Fassel helped to rehabilitate Kerry Collins and revived his career. Wilson can learn a lot from Payton. It's his last chance. I wonder if they'll pick up his 5th year option now.

Getting out from under Saleh  
HomerJones45 : 4/22/2024 8:55 pm : link
was the best thing to happen for Wilson. Saleh is a control freak who will probably be out the door next season and back where he belongs as a DC somewhere.

Right now, Wilson is the starter in Denver and it is a good place for him with Peyton and the receiving talent they have. At this price for that arm talent, it was too good a deal to pass up.
