The Denver Broncos have not had the start they wanted in 2024, losing their first two games with rookie quarterback Bo Nix at the helm, drawing criticism from fans. Their backup options, Jarrett Stidham and veteran Zach Wilson, haven’t fared much better in their NFL careers. Recently, ESPN suggested a trade that would send Wilson to the Los Angeles Rams, marking his third team.
The trade would provide the Rams with a high-upside developmental quarterback, as their current backups are seasoned players Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett. With Wilson stuck as a third-stringer in Denver behind Nix, his growth is hindered. A move to Los Angeles could enhance his performance and potentially position him as Matthew Stafford’s successor when he retires.
While some may believe Wilson has reached his limit, head coach Sean McVay has a reputation for unlocking new potential in quarterbacks, as seen with Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield. Since being drafted by the New York Jets in 2021, Wilson has accumulated 6,293 passing yards and 23 touchdowns. Analysts are optimistic about his chances of securing another starting role in the NFL after leaving New York.
If the Rams trade doesn’t happen, Wilson is likely to find a new team by the trade deadline, with potential suitors including the Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and Tennessee Titans. Where do you think Wilson will end up, and will he be a starter this season?
