Zach Wilson is preparing for life after the New York Jets… with the sale of a house to prove it.
The 24-year-old quarterback was reportedly traded to the Denver Broncos, ending his three-year nightmare with the Jets.

Wilson is said to have put his Morris County home on the market for about $1 million last month, foreshadowing his imminent departure from New York.
The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a media room, by The New York Post.
The former No. 2 overall pick took over quarterback duties from superstar Aaron Rodgers after he suffered a season-ending injury in the first game of the 2023 season.
He started the next nine games, as the Jets initially showed real struggle after the shock of that Rodgers moment.

But the season soon began to wind down, with Wilson on the bench for the third time in 13 months.
He’s far from the first quarterback to find life difficult with the Jets.
And with Rodgers set to return for the 2024 season, a move away from New Jersey always seemed inevitable.
Wilson still has one year left on his contract worth a guaranteed $5.5 million.

The Broncos and Jets will reportedly split the QB’s salary, according to NFL source Adam Schefter.
A late-round pick swap is also believed to be included in the deal, with Denver sending a sixth-round pick to New York in exchange for a seventh-round pick.
In 12 games played in the 2023 season, Wilson has 2,271 passing yards with eight touchdowns.
The Jets finished the season with a 7-10 record, for third place in the AFC East.
Wilson will feel that at just 24 years old and approaching his fourth season in the NFL, he still has a lot to offer.
Speaking at the end of the 2023 season, Jets coach Robert Saleh said: “Whether it’s here or somewhere else, I believe he will have an incredible career.”
“Obviously there are things he would like to have back and I know there are a lot of things he has improved on.
“Some things were out of his control. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I think he’s going to have a long career in this league.”
