The New York Jets find themselves embroiled in an unexpected quarterback dilemma centered around Zach Wilson’s willingness to reclaim his former position.
As Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans approaches, the Jets lack a clear starter, with coach Robert Saleh refraining from designating a quarterback from the options of Wilson, Tim Boyle, and Trevor Siemian. None of them have excelled since Aaron Rodgers’ injury.

Amid reports that the team might lean towards Wilson but that he might be hesitant due to injury concerns, Saleh dismissed such claims. He stated that Wilson approached him on Monday afternoon, expressing a strong desire to start.
Saleh emphasized that Wilson’s eagerness contradicts any reluctance, asserting that if he were unwilling to play, he wouldn’t be present. The coach acknowledged Wilson’s ambition to lead the team, believing he is the best quarterback for the job.
While Saleh appreciates Wilson’s determination, he remains undecided on the starting quarterback for the upcoming game.
If Wilson indeed expressed reluctance to play, such sentiments could potentially impact his reputation throughout his career, considering the highly competitive nature of securing an NFL start.
