Zach Wilson Joins Saints, Boosts Quarterback Depth

0:00It's March 25th. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Zach Wilson to a one-year deal. The 26-year-old spent last season as a backup with the Miami Dolphins, appearing in four games but not starting any. Wilson entered the league as the number two overall pick by the New York Jets back in 2021. He took over as the starter right away and went 12 wins and 21 losses over three seasons there before getting traded. His path has mirrored some past Jets quarterbacks with limited success leading to moves around the league. After sitting behind others in Denver without playing a snap, he landed in Miami but stayed on the bench when it mattered most. His last start was in week 12 of the 2023 season. Now Wilson joins a Saints quarterback group led by second-year player Tyler Show, who grabbed the starting role midway through last season and showed real promise. Tyler Ratler serves as the back of after a rough stretch of one win in 13 starts.
