Overview

• The New York Jets have given quarterback Zach Wilson permission to seek a trade, with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams named as potential destinations.
• Wilson is seeking an opportunity to work under a skilled offensive head coach to revive his career, with both teams' coaches, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay, fitting the bill.
• Despite struggling in his three seasons with the Jets, Wilson's potential as a former No. 2 overall pick makes him an intriguing option for teams looking for backup quarterback help.
• The 49ers, known for rehabilitating former high draft picks, could offer Wilson a chance to rebuild his career, potentially in exchange for a late-round draft pick.
• Wilson's financial impact on a new team could be minimal, as the Jets are expected to absorb the majority of his contract in any trade deal.
