Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is playing his third season in the NFL with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are having a disappointing season, and their partnership with starting quarterback Russell Wilson and Jeudy is nothing extraordinary. The team has already started receiving calls to trade Jeudy.

The Broncos drafter Jeudy as the 15th overall pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. In his rookie season, Jeudy started 14 of the 16 games he played and recorded 52 receptions for 856 yards and three touchdowns. That season, he also caught the longest reception of 92 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Last season, Jeudy played only 10 games as he suffered an ankle injury in the Week 1 game against the New York Giants. Last year, he had 38 receptions for 467 yards and did not score a touchdown.

Jeudy has a four-year rookie deal with the Broncos and has one more year left on his contract. Some potential NFL teams might be willing to give him the starting wide receiver job. The team looking to acquire Jeudy will have to exercise the fifth-year option on his contract, which will keep him signed until 2024.

Let's look at the teams who are the best fit for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

#3 - Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears made a strong comeback after Monday's 33-14 win against the New England Patriots. The Bears are currently 3-4 this season, and if they want to win games, they need to load an offensive weapon into the team.

The Bears' passing attack needs to improve, and pairing Darnell Mooney with Jerry Jeudy would be something to watch for. Quarterback Justin Fields isn't getting enough support from his wide receivers, and adding Jerry Jeudey to the offensive roster could be fruitful for the team.

#2 - New York Giants

The New York Giants are having a stellar 2022 season. They have only lost one game this season against the Cowboys. They have been strong contenders despite struggling at the wide receivers positions.

The Giants have an 87 percent chance to qualify for the playoffs, which can increase if they crack a trade deal with the Broncos and acquire wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

Wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been ruled out due to a season-ending injury, and Kadarius Toney hasn't played since mid-September. Wide receiver Kenny Golladay isn't doing much and has been sidelined for several weeks.

If the Giants acquire Jerry Jeudy, they could become one of the best teams this season.

#1 - Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are the next rumored team that could acquire Jerry Jeudy. The Ravens started the season with questions about their wide receiver choices. Rashod Bateman's return did ease their situation, but Lamar Jackson isn't performing to his full potential.

The Ravens are currently 4-3 this season and lead the AFC North. But the Cincinnati Bengals are right behind them with a 4-3 record. The Ravens must go for a strong pair of wide receivers, and Rashod Bateman and Jerry Jeudy are the ones that can help improve the offensive game for the Ravens.
