NFL analyst shares why Derek Carr is ‘concerned’ about the Jets

Former NFL quarterback and current “The NFL Today” analyst Boomer Esiason offered an interesting update regarding a possible relationship between the New York Jets and free-agent Derek Carr. 

As shared by Adam London of NESN, Esiason reported during his WFAN morning show that “I do know…(Carr) is concerned from the Jets’ perspective that Zach Wilson is here.” 

The Jets drafted Wilson second overall in 2021 but benched him on multiple occasions this past season. Despite his struggles, it’s widely believed New York would want an incoming veteran to help the 23-year-old get on track. 

“I do know that the Jets are not doing anything with Zach Wilson, regardless of what the fanbase may think,” Esiason continued. “I’m not saying he’s in the running to start next year, but he is going to be here. He’s going to be part of the team, that I know. They’re not giving up on him just yet. That may be the sticking point. I’m not sure, but it could be a sticking point for Derek Carr.”
