FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A dethroned Zach Wilson stood before his teammates Wednesday in a crowded meeting room and apologized for last Sunday's news-conference fumble -- the one that made him a national poster boy for lack of accountability. The New York Jets' former starting quarterback’s mea culpa included a vow to teammates.
"He's going to do everything he can to win his starting job back," cornerback D.J. Reed told ESPN. "He made that very clear."
But is that realistic?
The Jets made a very loud statement Wednesday with their quarterback shake-up, saying for the first time they're willing to live in a world without Wilson.
