QB Zach Wilson traded to the Broncos

Wilson is a lot younger and Payton already got to work with JW and knows how JW operates within his system. He didn't attempt to sign JW yet traded for Wilson, that says a lot.
Not really, as we don't know what all options he had and all we really heard were rumors but the deal was announced during the tampering window so :shrug:. All things considered, he is on a team coached by the reigning coach of the year with a defense lead by the reigning assistant coach of the year, replacing the reigning comeback player of the year, on a squad that won 11 games sitting behind a player that might not be available the first game of the season playing in an offense that checks every "strengths" box. I would have tried to go somewhere to be a starter but he found himself in a great situation on the off chance that Watson gets himself hurt again.
