New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, who has not cleared the concussion protocol, will miss the Week 18 season finale against the New England Patriots, effectively ending his season. Head Coach Robert Saleh expressed his belief that Wilson will have a 'long career in this league' but was noncommittal about his future with the Jets, saying 'We'll see' regarding whether it will be in New York. Additionally, tight end Jeremy Ruckert, guard Jacob Hanson, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has an Achilles issue and was limited in practice, are ruled out. Offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer is listed as doubtful with a calf injury. The Jets have placed Wilson on injured reserve (IR) and are expected to attempt to trade him in the offseason. Wilson has a fully guaranteed $5.4M salary for 2024, with his $18.5M(ish) 5th-year option decision due by May 2nd. The Jets are motivated to trade him before a $4.4M training camp roster bonus is due. Reports indicate that Wilson was told of the Jets' plans to trade him when he was benched during week 12, which contributed to his reluctance to return as the starting quarterback.
