Zach Wilson Trade Rumors: 49ers, Rams 'Among Intriguing' Landing Spots for Jets QB

Zach Wilson's time as a starting quarterback in the NFL is at least temporarily over, but he still has the opportunity to rebuild his career outside of New York as a backup.

And the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers could offer him the chance to do so.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, "The Rams and 49ers are among intriguing options for quarterback Zach Wilson, who has permission to seek a trade from the Jets. Wilson is looking for a skilled offensive head coach and a place to revive his career. Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan both need backup quarterback help at the moment."

Wilson, 24, has struggled mightily in his three NFL seasons, throwing for 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions while completing just 57 percent of his passes. The team is just 12-21 in his starts and he's been benched multiple times in his Jets' tenure.

With Aaron Rodgers returning from injury next season, Wilson was going to be a backup regardless, but a change of scenery appears to be the best option for all parties involved. His raw talent is intriguing, though teams may be less likely to trade assets for a backup quarterback if they feel they can simply pick a developmental project later in the draft.
