Jets Decline to Offer Contract to Carson Wentz, Reaffirm Faith in Zach Wilson

Wentz Signs with Rams as Backup, Jets Continue to Support Struggling Wilson

Despite the struggles of their current quarterback, Zach Wilson, the New York Jets declined to offer a contract to free-agent quarterback Carson Wentz.
Wentz, who has not played this season following his release from the Washington Commanders, signed with the Los Angeles Rams instead, where he will serve as a backup to Matthew Stafford.
The Jets had considered Wentz as a potential option if they lost faith in Wilson, but they have remained steadfast in their support of Wilson despite his performance.
Wentz, who played at a Pro Bowl level in 2017 and won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, has struggled to regain that form in recent years.
The Jets, currently with a 4-4 record, are on the outside looking in at the AFC playoff picture.
