Zach Wilson’s days as a starter are over. The New York Jets just traded with the Green Bay Packers for Aaron Rodgers, so Wilson’s mom reacted to the news and sent a message to the team’s front office.
The wait is finally over for the Jets. After a long negotiation with the Packers, New York convinced Green Bay to reconsider their trade demands for Aaron Rodgers, reaching an agreement to get the veteran quarterback.
The Jets will definitely use him as starter, forgetting about Zach Wilson. The 23-year-old will be Rodgers’ backup, waiting for his moment to take the job again and prove himself to New York.
Zach Wilson’s mom react to the Jets trading for Aaron Rodgers
After two seasons as the starting quarterback, Zach Wilson will be benched by Aaron Rodgers. He threatened the Jets if they brought a veteran player to steal his job, but the team was really interested in signing the Super Bowl XLV champion this year.
On Monday, the Jets completed Rodgers‘ trade. It is clear that Wilson will be the backup quarterback and, even though he could be mad about it, his mom thinks otherwise.
Lisa Neeleman Wilson, Zach’s mother, reacted to the news in a surprising way. She uploaded a story to her Instagram with the announcement of the trade alongside three clap hands emojis,clearly approving this move.
Then, she posted a picture of Zach alongside Rodgers during a training camp between the Jets and the Packers last year. In the IG story, she uses a smiling face emoji with hearts around it.
