After a tumultuous three seasons with the New York Jets, former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson was traded on Monday to the Denver Broncos, multiple outlets reported.
As was to be expected, there was plenty of reaction to the deal on social media from plenty of different people, be it BYU fans, Jets fans, Broncos fans or other NFL observers.
Here are some of the reactions shared on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
Sean Payton really got rid of Russell Wilson for Zach Wilson…

I don’t know if Zach Wilson can be good or not but I know he needed to get out of New York. That city was too much for him. We will see what his story will be.

Broncos really got us all hyped for their new jerseys and then brought us right back down by trading for Zach Wilson. Smh.

HOT-TAKE ALERT: I like this move.

The Broncos can now go get MUCH-NEEDED explosive Playmakers in this draft. Zach Wilson is a humbled but very gifted thrower of the football. If Sean Payton gets him right, look out! https://t.co/6kYxlpRBDo
Welp. That’s officially a rap for the Zach Wilson era here in NY.

Was he great? Nope. Did he show flashes of EVERYTHING necessary to be a success in todays NFL? Sure did.

Zach Wilson is headed to Denver. I think this is a great landing spot for him. He has a chance to start right away. Glad he is getting another shot! https://t.co/VAh4EDgM8v

The Denver Broncos have been discussing this trade for Zach Wilson for weeks. After exploring the veteran free agent quarterback market, there is belief in the Denver building Zach Wilson still has tons on talent and potential.

Sorry, Zach. I am very happy for you but also these are the worst jerseys in the NFL. https://t.co/54dkxzzVZV

We just traded for the worst QB in the league. We are an unserious organization. https://t.co/pf5FLm4zR1
