ZACH WILSON

The New York Jets want Aaron Rodgers, and if they are putting themselves in contention, they are off to a hot start by hiring one of his favorite coaches.

The Jets' new OC and Aaron Rodgers have a history. Might they reunite in New York to develop a high-potential group of young skill players?

New York Jets second-year wideout Elijah Moore requested a trade in October but according to a report, an argument with former offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur prompted it.

The Jets have quickly built a playoff contender under Robert Saleh. But the missing piece is the most important one: a competent QB.

In the instance that he isn't traded, the Raiders intend on cutting Carr prior to Feb. 15, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. The move would precede a deadline that would fully guarantee his deal next season if he remained on the Raiders roster. One way or another, Carr will play for another team next season. Carr checks a lot up upgrade boxes in New York and could help the franchise end its 12-season playoff drought. Pursuing Carr instead would infuse quarterback stability on a team with talent on both sides of the ball that just missed the playoffs at 8-8-1.

Nick Mangold might have some interest in joining the New York Jets coaching staff. Mangold spent his entire 11-year career with Gang Green.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — (AP) — Woody Johnson has watched the New York Jets miss the postseason for the past 12 years and feels the same way as the fans. Johnson, the Jets' owner since 2000, isn't issuing a playoff mandate for next season. “I think we could've done a better job, for sure,” Johnson said, "and we will do a better job next year." But New York will first be looking for an offensive coordinator after the Jets and LaFleur agreed to part ways Wednesday. Offensive line coach John Benton will also not be back with the Jets.

The New York Jets' chaotic and frustrating season on offense will end with the team getting a new offensive coordinator. The Jets are parting ways with offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. LaFleur joined the Jets as part of head coach Robert Saleh's original coaching staff after working together on the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff, Saleh as defensive coordinator and LaFleur as passing game coordinator under Kyle Shanahan. Mike LaFleur had a lot to juggle as Jets offensive coordinatorThere's little denying the Jets' offense was bad this year. That wasn't exactly powered by Wilson's arm, as he posted only one passing touchdown while averaging 173.3 passing yards per game in that span.

Mike LaFleur is out as offensive coordinator of the New York Jets after two disappointing and mostly non-productive seasons on offense, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. LaFleur's future with the team was uncertain after Zach Wilson struggled mightily in his second season and the offense was among the worst in the NFL for two straight years. There was increasing speculation LaFleur could be on the way out after Robert Saleh's Jets finished 7-10 with a season-ending six-game losing streak.

The Jets might give Zach Wilson some competition for the starting job next season — but Wilson isn't going down without a fight.

But the Dolphins will be facing a New York Jets team that is making yet another quarterback change, this one due to injury. If Miami wins and the Patriots lose to the New York Jets, the Dolphins are in the playoffs. If all three lose and the Jacksonville Jaguars lose on Saturday night, the Jaguars are the wild-card team. If the Patriots, Dolphins and Steelers lose and the Jaguars win, clinching the AFC South title, the Patriots get the No. The Jets will presumably still be playing hard with Flacco at quarterback, trying to end the Dolphins' season.

It's been another disappointing season for New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. In his second year in the NFL, Wilson started 9 games, throwing 6 touchdowns against 7 interceptions before getting benched. Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur admitted Thursday he thinks Wilson should have sat and watched a veteran quarterback before being thrust into the starting lineup. Mike LaFleur says, in hindsight, that Zach Wilson would've benefited from sitting and learning behind a veteran quarterback: pic.twitter.com/W4eInd7QFW — Jets Videos (@snyjets) January 5, 2023The team did the opposite with Wilson. LaFleur on whether he's failed Zach Wilson: "There’s still development to be had.

While rumors and reports have the New York Jets moving on from Zach Wilson after two seasons, head coach Robert Saleh dismissed that notion Wednesday.

Still, coach Robert Saleh insisted Wednesday that Wilson still has a future with the franchise. Wilson has 15 touchdowns and 18 interceptions with a 55.2 completion rate and a 72.8 quarterback rating in 22 starts. But Wilson also has shown flashes of the off-schedule playmaking ability that made the Jets and others drool leading up to the draft. I just think, like I said, when it’s a reset, we’re going to work our tails off to help him. “Get away from this game, just reset,” Saleh said.

5 Things I care aboutThe Steelers' young pieces are trending the right wayThe Steelers have long odds to get to the postseason. No first-year passer ever is but he’s moving right along and is without question adding value to a drab scheme. He's right but I also think he just looks better. Evans accomplished both feats and then some in a win-and-in Week 17 game against the Panthers. Akers has now run for 408 yards and six scores at 4.9 yards per carry from Week 13 on.

For a minute this season, the New York Jets were one of the NFL's best stories. The Jets offense was listless on Sunday in a 23-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. With Zach Wilson watching in street clothes, a banged-up Mike White struggled at quarterback as the Jets failed to score 20 points for a fourth straight game. Playing his first game in his return from rib fractures, the second-year quarterback threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and took four sacks against the Seahawks. He completed 23 of 46 passes for 240 yards as the Jets failed to score a touchdown.

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson may be benched for the rest of the season but his time in the organization may keep him around for at least another year.

The New York Jets will have Mike White back as they look to make a playoff push in their final two games.

The Jets' playoff hopes received a boost when the team learned that doctors cleared quarterback Mike White. He is expected to be in the lineup when the team plays the Seahawks.

Mike White is back at quarterback for the New York Jets. White was cleared by team doctors and will start Sunday in Seattle after he missed the Jets' past two games while dealing with broken ribs suffered in New York's 20-12 loss at Buffalo on Dec. 11. And with the Jets (7-8) still in the playoff hunt with two games remaining, they get their quarterback back. But the coach wouldn't go as far as to speculate whether White could be the long-term answer at quarterback. White went 80 of 129 for 952 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions while starting three games in place of the benched Wilson.

Mike White is back at quarterback for the New York Jets. White was cleared by doctors and will start Sunday in Seattle, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation. White missed the Jets' past two games while dealing with broken ribs suffered in New York's 20-12 loss at Buffalo on Dec. 11. He has practiced on a limited basis since, but hadn't been cleared by doctors for contact so he couldn't play. The New York Post first reported White had been cleared and will start Sunday.

The Jets and Broncos may have flatlined, but don't bury the Packers and Steelers just yet in their fight for the playoffs.

After another woeful performance this season, Zach Wilson's future with the New York Jets is in question to the point where a recent Fox Sports' report says Gang Green will move on.

Henry McKenna has seen enough: 2021 No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson will never be the best QB on an NFL roster. It's time for the Jets to move on.

While Lawrence sliced through the Jets' normally strong defense, Wilson couldn't get anything going and was booed frequently — all the way to the bench. Wilson went 9 of 18 for 82 yards with an interception and a dismal 41.9 rating for the Jets (7-8), whose playoff hopes took a devastating hit with their fourth straight loss. Things actually got off to a promising start for the Jets when Quinnen Williams strip-sacked Lawrence on the Jaguars' third play from scrimmage. On fourth-and-4, Streveler completed a 4-yard pass to Garrett Wilson and he led the Jets to the Jaguars 13. Instead, Lawrence — who lost 26-21 to Wilson and the Jets last season — and the Jaguars maintained control.

Trevor Lawrence leaped for a touchdown and the Jacksonville Jaguars continued their push toward the playoffs with their third straight victory, 19-3 over an embarrassed Zach Wilson and the New York Jets on a rainy, windy night.

Week 16 of the NFL season kicked off with the Jaguars defeating the Jets on Thursday Night Football. Here are the top plays!

Zach Wilson dropped back, the Jacksonville Jaguars sniffed out a screen, and Wilson sidearmed it into the ground. With every poor offensive play, Jets fans voiced their displeasure. 1 pick — seriously, that happened — and it didn't seem so bad that the Jets had to settle for Wilson at No. Wilson gets benchedThe difference in the Jets offense when Streveler came in the game was unmistakable. The Jets were putrid on offense, Lawrence looked good enough and the Jets weren't going to score enough to make it a game.

The New York Jets sent Zach Wilson to the bench in the third quarter of their game against the Jaguars on Thursday, as fans again booed a poor performance.

For the New York Jets, he's mostly a gadget quarterback who can run it a bit. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Jets decided that after almost three full quarters with no offensive production, anything was a better option than Zach Wilson. Streveler was inserted in the game late in the third quarter with the Jets trailing 16-3. Streveler is mostly a gadget runner at quarterback, but he gave the Jets offense a little life early on. The Jets had three first downs when Streveler came in the game late in the fourth quarter, and surpassed that total on Streveler's first drive.

The top two picks of the 2021 NFL draft are set to do battle on Thursday Night Football. Trevor Lawrence might be arriving as the Jacksonville Jaguars' franchise quarterback before our very eyes. The New York Jets, meanwhile, are turning to Zach Wilson again only because of injury. This is a prime spot for both quarterbacks and teams to make a statement. Follow live with Yahoo Sports.

Week 16 of the NFL season is here and promises to be interesting with three regular-season games remaining and five teams eliminated from playoff contention. Hurts sprained his throwing shoulder on a hard tackle during Sunday's win at Chicago. Wilson will likely look to improve on his performance in the 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley also appeared on the Ravens’ Wednesday injury report as limited due to his right shoulder.

Zach Wilson will start again for the New York Jets in Thursday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Robert Saleh announced Tuesday.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — (AP) — Zach Wilson is getting another start for the New York Jets, and this one in prime time. Coach Robert Saleh announced the decision Tuesday that Wilson will be under center Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars as the Jets (7-7) try to hold on in the AFC playoff hunt. With Mike White not cleared for contact by doctors as he recovers from broken ribs, Saleh and the Jets will have Wilson make a second straight start in his return from a three-game benching. Saleh said White remains “week to week” in his recovery, but the Jets have not ruled him out for the rest of the season. “It feels a lot better than it did last week,” Saleh said.

Zach Wilson will start at quarterback for the New York Jets against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is looking for more patience when it comes to struggling second-year quarterback Zach Wilson following Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions.

Mike White might miss a second game for the New York Jets while he continues to recover from "multiple" rib fractures, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Doctors still haven't cleared White to play before the Jets' Week 16 match with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, per Rapoport. White initially suffered the injury in the Jets' Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills after a big hit from linebacker Matt Milano. Prior to being ruled out for Week 15, White reportedly talked with "almost 10 doctors" in an effort to get cleared for the game. Oddly enough, White's Jets averaged only 1.1 points more per game than Wilson's – 21.6 vs. 20.5.

He and Christian McCaffrey are the only players in the league with 50+ catches and 700 rushing yards this season. Adams finished with 28 scoreless yards, as Belichick lived up to his cliché of shutting down his opponent's best weapon. Mac Jones somehow managed just 112 scoreless yards (3.6 YPA) indoors against a Raiders defense that entered allowing easily the highest Passer Rating. Zay Jones erupted for three scores and hauled in the longest TD pass of Lawrence's career, finishing as the top-scoring fantasy wideout in Week 15. He also led the team with a season-high eight targets while getting his best YPC (4.8) since Week 5.

Both teams are 7-7, but Jared Goff's Lions inserted themselves into playoff contention while the Jets fade away with Zach Wilson.

Week 15 of the NFL continues Sunday with Cowboys-Jaguars, Eagles-Bears and more in action. Here are the top plays!

Or maybe Zach Wilson responded appropriately to his first NFL benching and had some of the best practices of his life the last two weeks. Because Friday's decision by the Jets — putting Wilson back into the starting lineup — was baked into this situation the very second he went to the bench. Head coach Robert Saleh telegraphed the move repeatedly because he knows what everyone else inside the organization knows: An important offseason decision has to be made at quarterback. And the only way to make it with confidence is on the other side of Wilson getting one more chance. But whether it’s Garoppolo or not, the Jets won’t stand down in the face of Wilson failing with this second chance.

Jets QB Mike White is out Sunday with an unspecified rib injury, which means former starter Zach Wilson will be under center against the Lions.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — (AP) — Zach Wilson will start at quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday against the Detroit Lions after Mike White was not cleared by doctors to play. White is dealing with a rib injury that twice knocked him out of the Jets' 20-12 loss at Buffalo last Sunday. White was cleared to practice and said throughout the week he had no doubt he would start Sunday, but team doctors wouldn't clear him for contact. “We've got to protect the player from the player,” Saleh said. Instead, Wilson will now be the starter with the Jets (7-6) trying to keep pace in the AFC playoff hunt.
