It cut off a potential avenue for the Broncos (2024-01-24)
Wilson was traded to Denver on Tuesday afternoon, hours removed from the new Aaron Rodgers was re-signing with the Packers MUT 24 Coins. It cut off a potential avenue for the Broncos, who seemed to be all-in on the idea of making a play for the Madden NFL 24 MVP. Now they’ve landed a hell of a quarterback, giving up two first round picks, two second round picks, as well as QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant and defensive end Shelby Harris, pass rusher who finished with six sacks a year ago, and noted cornerstone of the locker room.
If you talk to Broncos fans they were hell bent on the idea their team was an elite passer away from a championship. And their Super Bowl odds at DraftKings Sportsbook moved with the trade. Following Super Bowl 56, the Broncos were +1800 to win Super Bowl 57. After the trade, they are +1200.
I’m not so convinced. Don’t get me wrong, Wilson unquestionably makes Denver better, and could easily push them into the playoffs — but when it comes to actually winning it all, that’s far more difficult to project. It makes trading for the 33-year-old quarterback a much more risky prospect than it would initially seem, and to my mind, the Broncos are further away from a championship than either the Buccaneers or Rams Buy Madden 24 Coins were when they made their “all-in” plays.
