The New York Jets have stood by starting quarterback Zach Wilson through his struggles, saying over and over again that the offense’s issues are more than the quarterback.<\/p>\n

“It’s lazy to just put it all on him,” head coach Robert Saleh reiterated this past week. “It was collective all the way across the board.”<\/p>\n

The Jets brass has stood by Wilson similarly behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Before free-agent QB Carson Wentz signed with the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 7, sources say his camp checked in with the Jets after New York’s 27-6 loss to the Chargers on Nov. 6, an ugly showing by the offense.<\/p>\n

Wentz had been on the Jets’ short list of potential free-agent QBs since they lost Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles in Week 1, per sources. The thinking was if the team lost faith in Wilson, it could sign Wentz to be an option to start.<\/p>\n
