Zach Wilson Joins Saints, Becomes Backup QB

0:00On March 25, Zach Wilson, the former number two overall pick from the 2021 draft, is on the move again. The New Orleans Saints are signing the veteran quarterback to a free agent deal, marking his first time in the NFC. Wilson got his start with the Jets, where he played in dozens of games over three seasons, including plenty of starts as a rookie and after an injury, to Aaron Rogers. He bounced to Denver in 2024 as a backup and saw no action there. Then last year, he joined the dolphins briefly, appearing in just four games without starting. Now in New Orleans, Wilson slots in behind starter Tyler Show and Spencer Radler on the depth chart. Show took over the top spot after strong showings replacing Radler. This adds another chapter to Wilson's winding path, as teams keep shuffling their quarterback rooms heading into the new season. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI.
