The Denver Broncos made an offseason splash when they acquired former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson in a blockbuster trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
They did so in the hope that he could be the upgrade needed at the quarterback position to lead them to a Super Bowl win. Wilson won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in his second season in the NFL after leading them to a 13-3 record.
Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman appeared on The Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday and discussed the Broncos' acquisition of Russell Wilson.
Edelman thinks that Wilson has something to fight for, and it may be a Super Bowl or an MVP title.
Edelman said:
"You bring in Russell Wilson... a guy that can just grind wins away with... a non great talented offense, which he did for like six years, where he'd run around, create these huge explosion plays, two minute drill extraordinaire... And he's got something to fight for.
"He's hungry because... he still hasn't got his MVP. And last year, there's talk that he's [regressed]... I mean, look at this top hundred. Well... who was above him? "
The Denver Broncos will have 6 tough divisional games in their quest to win the Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs have won the AFC West the last six years straight. They've dominated the division ever since quarterback Patrick Mahomes took over. Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory during the 2019-20 season and brought them back to the big game a year later. The Chiefs have and still are legit contenders to make the Super Bowl.
The Las Vegas Raiders made the playoffs last season, but they were in a do-or-die game with their division rival, Los Angeles Chargers, during Week 18. Both teams have improved in the off-season and will threaten to win the division.
Denver need a leader like Wilson at the quarterback position to compete with the other three juggernauts of the division.
It makes sense why the AFC West has the most primetime games this season. The division will have 19 primetime games featuring one of their teams, making it possibly the most exciting division this season.
