The Denver Broncos created some intrigue to begin NFL draft week by trading for 2021 No. 2 overall pick, quarterback Zach Wilson from the New York Jets.
Former #Jets starting QB and No. 2 pick Zach Wilson is on the move. Sources say he’s being traded to the #Broncos, hoping for a fresh start.
The deal includes a late-round pick swap (6th for a 7th) and NYJ will pay some of Wilson’s roughly $5.5M salary. pic.twitter.com/7Y1KShZ3sg— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 22, 2024The trade didn’t cost the Broncos much in both compensation owned to the Jets and contracts owed to Wilson.
