3. Denver Broncos
Yiu can’t even put into words how terrible the 2022 season was for the Denver Broncos. When the AFC West side traded for Russell Wilson, fans started booking trips for Glendale, Ariz. for February of 2023. Now, those same folks probably canceled their plans, as they don’t want to see the Eagles and Chiefs go to battle.
The Broncos didn’t even sniff the playoffs, and Wilson had easily his worth NFL season. Everything that could have gone wrong for Denver last fall did, but things are already looking better now that Sean Payton has been hired as the team’s new head coach. With the Broncos giving up a first-rounder for him, you know they mean business.
The next order of business is bringing in offensive help for Wilson and Barkley should be at the top of their list, if he hits free agency that is. Barkley could be the explosive kind of player that the Broncos are missing. Wilson figures to bounce back next year, but he’ll need help.
