The Denver Broncos are seen by many as the frontrunner to land Aaron Rodgers if the Green Bay Packers quarterback requests a trade.
Rodgers is not the only superstar quarterback in play for Denver, though.
According to a Sunday morning report from ESPN, the Broncos could make a big push for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
If Rodgers stays with Green Bay as expected, don’t be surprised if the Broncos turn their attention to Wilson and Seattle. But all of that is a big if, because he hasn’t requested a trade. Seattle has discussed a Wilson deal with Chicago and Cleveland in past years, so it’s not like its “intention” not to trade him — coach Pete Carroll’s stance — can’t be tweaked. But Carroll is 70 years old and probably not eyeing a rebuild with a lesser quarterback. And Wilson would have infinite leverage if he produces in a big way in 2022.
Wilson would reportedly be more open to Denver than other trade destinations, according to the report.
The Broncos “really emerged as a potential quarterback location” per @RapSheet
“If Aaron Rodgers does not end up in GB, obviously Denver would make sense…If Russell Wilson ended up going anywhere, Deshaun Watson, a lot of love for Denver as a QB landing spot”

Broncos fans are just waiting on a quarterback…
“Who wouldn’t want to play with that offense?” one fan tweeted.
“WE READY TO ROLL,” another fan wrote.
Not getting my hopes up for Deshaun Watson, I’ve been saying for the longest time that I don’t believe he ends up in Denver, nor do I believe he wants to come here regardless of what Kareem Jackson “said” a year ago.
