Report: Bills are unlikely to go after Jets’ Zach Wilson

According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the Buffalo Bills are unlikely to pursue New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson this offseason.

The Buffalo Bills have a lot of decisions to make before free-agency and the 2024 NFL Draft comes around. However, if Buffalo is looking for a different quarterback to backup star Josh Allen, it will most likely be someone other than a recently-available signal-caller.

Per the The Athletic, the Bills are unlikely to pursue New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson based on what he’s been hearing at the scouting combine happening this week. Per Jets general manager Joe Douglas on Wednesday, New York has given Wilson’s agents permission to seek a trade for a player that may be looking for a new home one way or another.

As of right now, it seems that Wilson does not have much of a market given how he has played since being drafted by the Jets with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. In three seasons, Wilson has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns and has been benched multiple times due to his poor play.

According to The Athletic, the Bills “don’t seem to think highly of Wilson’s potential” so it seems that Wilson does not make sense for Buffalo even if the team is looking for a different backup quarterback for the 2024 season.

The backup quarterback for the 2023 season was Kyle Allen, who appeared in seven games for the Bills, but did not accumulate any stats.
