The Denver Broncos haven’t started the 2024 season as they had hoped. They’ve lost their first two games with rookie quarterback Bo Nix at the helm, drawing criticism from fans.
However, their backup options, Jarrett Stidham and veteran Zach Wilson, have struggled in their careers as well. ESPN recently suggested a trade that would send Wilson to the Los Angeles Rams, marking his third team.
This trade would provide the Rams with a high-upside developmental quarterback, as their current backups are veterans Jimmy Garoppolo and Stenson Bennett. Wilson, currently third on the depth chart in Denver, faces limitations in his growth with Nix starting.
A move to Los Angeles could enhance his performance and potentially position him as the successor to Matthew Stafford once he retires.
While some may believe Wilson has reached his peak, head coach Sean McVay has a track record of helping quarterbacks unlock new potential, as seen with Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield. Since being drafted by the New York Jets in 2021, Wilson has thrown for 6,293 yards and 23 touchdowns. Analysts are optimistic that his exit from New York could lead to a new starting opportunity soon.
If he doesn’t land with the Rams, it’s still likely that Wilson will join another team by the trade deadline, with potential interest from the Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and Tennessee Titans. Where do you think Wilson will end up, and will he be starting this season?
