Summary

The Denver Broncos gave Russell Wilson a big payday to keep him their quarterback for the next six years. But is that enough to make them real contenders in the AFC West as the Los Angeles Chargers have Justin Herbert, the Kansas City Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes and the Las Vegas Raiders have Derek Carr? It might be win-now mode for the Broncos, and in the middle of the most competitive version of the AFC West in NFL history. Also, Wilson's deal happened before former NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson got his big payday with the Baltimore Ravens. What's the hold up? Whatever it is, Jackson has all the leverage and shouldn't budge until the Ravens give him a contract that's right where the Cleveland Browns paid Deshaun Watson. Finally, who starts first? Kenny Pickett for the Pittsburgh Steelers, or Malik Willis for the Tennessee Titans? Sponsored by: BetOnline Today's Episode is brought to you by BetOnline.
