The Denver Broncos have added Russell Wilson, yet a former Wilson teammate doesn’t trust the Broncos in the competitive AFC West.

Denver/Munich – The Denver Broncos have made a high-profile addition in star quarterback Russell Wilson.

And yet, there is a lot of competition in their division, the AFC West, with the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. Especially since the Chargers and Raiders have also strengthened themselves considerably and the Chiefs are already considered one of the top teams in the NFL.

Therefore, KJ. Wright, former linebacker of the Seattle Seahawks and there nine years at the side of Wilson, committed himself. He believes the Broncos will finish last in the AFC West, he told USA Today. Ahead of them would be Raiders, Chargers and Chiefs, Wright said.

Wright: “I don’t know if it’s enough “

He explained, “You have to look at the overall structure, not just the quarterbacks. What’s there on the other side of the ball, what does the defence look like.” Wright continued, “The Broncos have some key pieces, but I don’t know if it’s enough to slow down those ‘weapons’ in their division. It’s going to be close, but only three will make it. “

Sports bettors, however, disagree with Wright, who last played for the Raiders. There, those same Raiders are favourites to finish fourth in the AFC West, while Broncos and Chargers are tied with a chance at the division title and the Chiefs lead the odds.
