Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy couldn't hide his excitement after his team secured perhaps the biggest deal of the offseason: signing Russell Wilson from Seattle.
In doing so, Wilson will link up with Jeudy and the Broncos in what is now a stacked AFC West division that already has Patrick Mahomes, Derek Carr, and Justin Herbert. With Wilson joining the fray, it's suddenly a very tough division.
Jeudy could not hide his joy when he found out that the nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl-winning quarterback was joining his team.
He posted on Twitter:
"Oh we lit 🔥."
Wilson joins the Broncos in principle, and that sees the Seahawks receive Drew Lock, Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and a fifth-round pick.
Denver gets Russell Wilson and a fourth-round pick.
Jerry Jeudy goes through a lot of emotions
While Jeudy was ecstatic with the arrival of Wilson, this was not the case a couple of hours earlier.
News broke that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had agreed to return to Green Bay. Many thought that Rodgers would either join the Broncos or retire; however, he opted to stay in Green Bay.
Jeudy took to his Twitter account and was a little let down that Rodgers would not be joining.
He posted:
However, just an hour and 40 minutes later, Jeudy's mood changed, and again he took to Twitter with a vastly different emoji.
With the arrival of the former Seahawks quarterback, Denver is now firmly thrust into the Super Bowl contenders bubble. Armed with a supreme defense, multiple weapons on the offensive side of the ball, and now a top-tier quarterback, Denver is in position for a Super Bowl run for the next three to four years.
The only issue is the stacked division. The Chiefs, Chargers, and Raiders are all teams with serious aspirations for a Super Bowl tilt. Add Denver, and at least two teams will miss out on the playoffs each season.
Undoubtedly, it is a blockbuster trade that no one saw coming as all eyes were on Aaron Rodgers and his future. However, John Elway & Co worked hard behind the scenes, and they now have the missing piece in their Super Bowl puzzle.
