Robert Saleh insists his loyalty to Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets isn't because of any sort of mandate from his superiors.

"No, we're on the same page with that," Saleh said. "So any conspiracy theory that might be out there, we're on the same page."

Saleh contributed to the narrative with a comment he made late during his weekly spot on the Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York radio.

Asked why he's not starting Trevor Siemian against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Saleh said, "Fair question. I don't know. I'm going to plead the Fifth."
