One year ago during Thanksgiving week, Jets coach Robert Saleh pulled the plug on Zach Wilson, benching the second-year quarterback for the first of two times last season in favor of backup Mike White.

Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft, now has been yanked again from the starting lineup and dropped to third string on the depth chart — with journeyman Tim Boyle anointed Monday as the starter for the flailing team’s Black Friday game against the Dolphins.

This move feels like it holds more permanence for Wilson, whose Jets career appears ever closer to the end.

Wilson was slated to sit and learn from Aaron Rodgers this season before he was forced into action in the first game of the season when the four-time league MVP suffered a torn Achilles.
