The Denver Broncos would not have offered Zach Wilson the opportunity to start in 2025, not so long as Bo Nix is healthy and they can help it.
Wilson signed with the Miami Dolphins, returning the former No. 2 overall pick by the New York Jets in 2021 to the AFC East. In one of his first acts as a Dolphins QB, Wilson has made a historically significant decision.
The 25-year-old will wear No. 0 next season, per the Dolphins’ graphic on X on April 23.

Wilson becomes just the second quarterback in NFL history, joining former Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota, the No. 2 pick in 2016 by the Tennessee Titans.
That makes Wilson the first Dolphins QB to ever don the digit in franchise history.
Notably, Wilson may have had to offer some form of compensation for No. 0, as players often do, had he remained with the Broncos. Broncos starting outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper is the current owner.
