Zach Wilson's girlfriend reacts to ex-Jets QB's shock trade to Broncos
The New York Jets traded quarterback Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos on Monday morning. This move comes after three tumultuous seasons for the quarterback who was drafted by the Jets with the second overall pick in 2021.
Wilson's friends and family were so excited for his new chapter that they shared the news on their social media. His girlfriend, Nicollette Dellanno, re-shared a post about his trade to Denver and added three orange hearts alongside the post.
The news of the New York Jets parting ways with the quarterback came as a bit of surprise to some. Aaron Rodgers is expected to start Week 1 after suffering an Achilles injury last season. Despite Wilson's issues with consistency over the last few seasons, New York completing a trade this offseason wasn't expected.
The New York Jets received a late-round pick in return for Wilson and will split the remaining $5.5 million in salary he is owed with the Denver Broncos.
