Zack Wilson as a backup

[dieterbrock]

Wilson has a cap number of $11.1 million for 2025, thanks to the four-year, $35 million deal he signed as the second overall pick in the draft.

Writer left out some vital context here, that is the 5th year option which will obviously not be picked up

 

[Ramstien]

The Rams should just lay back and wait because chances are he is going to be released. There are a lot of options out there with the draft and teams will be releasing players to clear money for free agency.

He's seriously more of a practice squad guy at this point. Heck he'd be doing himself a major service by even playing in the XFL/USFL league

In other words, "here's your chance to help the Jets for the first time in your career". I would offer the Jets a 7th round (comp) pick (the next time we get one) as long as we only had to pay his base salary ($1.055 mil)....if he made the roster.

I like Wentz as backup, but as much as everyone, hes gonna be a starter somewhere. He is Not washed. It was the teams He was on. Which Brings me to Wilson as backup! He needs to leave the Jets. They are the Problem. He cannot learn because they switched 7 QBs in 2-3 seasons, yet he was still there. Clearly the QB is not your problem, but thats Aarons Problem now it seems.

I think there is a chance Wentz signs with the Rams. But whether he does or not Wilson can't be the backup, he is a long term project, i.e. third stringer.

I would like to have him on the roster but he would need to be cheap in trade and cheap in cost. Can that happen for us who knows.

One GM mentioned to Charles Robinson as a very good backup available is Sam Darnold. Though more as a bridge guy or vet backup for a team that takes a rookie QB.

Breaking News, Jets GM Joe Douglas eats another burger.

Not as a backup. You'd lose the game if he has to start but if you were hell bent to see if you could develop him than I think you look at him as a number 3 for a year and maybe backup the following year.

 

[Memento]

No thanks. I'd rather just pay Wentz or Brissett or even Taylor. Wilson has shown nothing that makes him an NFL quarterback.

I wouldn't trade anything for Wilson. He sucks and will most likely get cut.

I hate Wilson, but trust McSnead, so my only hope is he's cap-friendly if he comes here.
I'm in a huge minority in that I'm just no sold on Wentz.
I'm also in the minority in that I won't be disappointed at all if we draft a qb in the first two rounds. Would love to get a rook with some time to cook while backing up Matt, even if it's for 2-3 years.

 

[Ramstien]

It is starting to look like Fields may be able to be had for possibly a mid-round pick. That would be a deal worth considering.

With all the potential #2 QBs free agents on the market I wouldn't trade a blocking sled for a #2.

Especially one who will get paid $5+ mill and has been patently awful in his career so far

"Depending on the Jets asking price"?

By that, the price should be that The Rams get Wilson and the Jets 3rd round pick for a Rams 6th round pick

 

[bubbaramfan]

Thats too much dieter.

Thats too much dieter.

Are you sure you read that correctly?

 

[bubbaramfan]

I'm implying the Rams are giving up too much.

I'd not be upset with him as back up at all, we have done far far worse as recent as last year. Would be kind of a nice twist to the offense to bring him in every so often and run some kind of option or QB sweep.
